Interestingly the AWS Dashboard is also down. However, it at least comes up with an error message saying 500 Service Unavailable, whereas amazon.com itself just never responds.
Are AWS nodes/services themselves down, or just the Amazon web interface?
Same, can't get to the console or any other service. Our instances do appear to be responding however, so they aren't completely down.
