I didn't get any SMSes or calls from PagerDuty even though I see 4 incidents triggered in the PD web UI. Although that could be due to Twilio going down.

We (PagerDuty) were down for a bit. We will move off of AWS asap once the dust settles.

Why move off, why not just replicate your service to another provider as well?

There's a good reason for that: when AWS has problems, we are under very heavy load because many of our customers are on AWS. The last thing we want to do at that point is an emergency flip to a secondary provider.

Did Netflix actually go down? They're supposed to be pretty Chaos Monkey proof.

Yeah, i was surprised too because their infrastructure is redundant across AZs if i remember correctly, but netflix was completely down for me.

I experienced intermittent issues. It tried retrieving the content to stream and failed. This lasted for about 20-30 mins. Was using wii streaming during that time.

Reddit is intermittent too.
