  Increased Error Rates and Latencies
  Jun 13 12:08 PM PDT We are investigating increased error rates and latencies in the US-EAST-1 Region.

They list Lambda as the only affected service

I suppose "increased error rates and latencies" is technically true when the error rate is 100% and the latency is "until we fix it"

status page won't load for me. are they still hosting their status page on their own infrastructure?

Perhaps they should host it on GCP

Ouch

It is a perfectly cromulent practice to host a replica of your status page at your competitor.

They've added a dozen or so more as potentially down now. Anything that uses IAM, which I suspect is the core of the issue.

They have 41 services listed now.

doesn't every service use IAM?

certificate manager also down (I know because I tried to update an ssl cert for cloudfront which only allows US-East-1 ssl certs, maybe someone will eventually fix that to allow any region to have the ssl cert for cloudfront)

> cloudfront which only allows US-East-1 ssl certs

This seems like an odd limitation. Do you know the technical reason?

CloudFront is a global service according to AWS (I believe you pay more if you want your content in CDNs in more/different regions' edges).

the status page doesn't even open.
