Pretty hard to not be dependent on IAM. Authentication and authorization are some of the most core concepts you can have
Amazon says that "The issue continues to affect create, describe, modify or delete of IAM accounts and roles. [...] Authentication using IAM accounts and roles are not affected."
So it's entirely possible to depend on IAM but not in a way which this is breaking.
For sure, that’s just not what the parent comment asked
This makes sense, observing services that rely on IAM/STS very, very routinely--but without changing IAM properties--and no alerts popped up during this outage.
I thought IAM authentication was working, but the create / remove / etc steps were down. This is a HUGE impact if all IAM role access is down globally for AWS.
Please confirm and I will work to spread the news - can I cite you as the source?
https://sqwok.im, it's entirely on aws services... iam is interwoven throughout :] rather than get frustrated, I just chalk it up to 2020, will go for a walk.. oh wait there's apocalyptic smoke outside!
Loads fine for me an hour later. Nice site! I love the design and idea behind it.
hey thank you, I appreciate the feedback! I've been working hard to bring it to life and had just pushed out a new @mentions feature right when aws went down... feel free to "@guac" if you feel like trying it out and I'll hop into the conversation
