We experienced the same thing. DNS lookups via Googles public DNS servers where failing for one of our hosted zones.

Interestingly this only seemed to be a problem with Google DNS, other large providers as well as smaller ones where not affected.

As I mentioned in the previous thread; DNS lookups via Azure also seemed to be affected.

we saw the same thing. dns stopped resolving while using google's dns for about 2h.

there's a route53 status update on their page that says basically that -- only affected google dns.

That’s simply wrong. Best case, this is ignorance on the Route53 marketing team. Worst, it’s actively misleading. Disappointing either way.
