I'm super curious to hear technical info how this kind of widescale network partition comes to happen. It doesn't seem based on geography since for about 30 minutes I was unable to reach us-east from MonkeyBrains in SF, but had no trouble from my Dallas, TX VPS.

From DigitalOcean's status page for SFO:

"We have located and routed around a West Coast US TeliaSonera backbone problem. All latency should be back to normal levels and we'll continue to monitor the Telia repair progress."

Possibly related to another fiber cut this morning: https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/outages/2015-June/007911.h...

and as usual: http://status.aws.amazon.com/ is either not reachable or all green :D

it's definitely down for me. weird that aws status shows all green

it seems like it always is green even when they have issues, perhaps a static page? ;>

You joke, but static pages are actually great for status pages, since they handle load surges very well and have few moving parts to break. That said, it looks like the Amazon status page pulls http://status.aws.amazon.com/data.json , and I've also noticed that it's almost always all green even when stuff is broken.

Do we know if this is related to the Beats 1 issues people are currently reporting?

"Update 2 5:35 p.m. Pacific Time: It appears the Beats 1 radio station is currently experiencing an outage and is unavailable for some listeners. Attempting to play the station results in an unknown error." http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/30/beats-1-radio-now-availa...

I think so. Apple Music streams are working though so they don't seem to be using AWS for everything.

Seeing it bounce up/down from the UK... brief moments of "IT WORKS" followed by sadness. Long night ahead I think :(

something tells me this is related: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/look-before-you-leap-the-co... (just remember reading it, can't open it from EU)

I'm having no problems with us-east, accessed from Southern California and Texas.

Possibly a peering problem? I can reach AWS and us-east systems from a different host running off of he.net.

So that's why I cannot access Reddit..

coinbase.com, circle.com, reddit.com <- all down for me. using Tor it is all good though :D

And we're back.

and it seems to be working again from europe now

Back now.

Verified.

the internet is back
