- Disclosure, I work for Datadog:
https://updog.ai/status/amazonaws
Looks fine for now.
- Piece of UX feedback for the product team behind Updog: company logos are not searchable. It should be easy to Ctrl-F and find a relevant cloud on that detector, instead of scrolling alphabetically.
- You all should add EC2 - extra bonus if you have some way of tracking performance in addition to errors (right now we're seeing EC2 instances in us-east-1c not transition out of Pending status).
- This is cool, does this actually hit all the services directly (in each region) instead of pulling from AWS Status?
- Which uptime checker tool would be based on status pages (owned by the marketing department)? That defeats the whole purpose.
- I've run a business in this space since 2021, I am yet to meet a business that lets their marketing team own their status page.
You'll find most engineering teams will start owning a status page to centralise updates to their stakeholders, before eventually growing into the customer success/support org owning it to minimise support tickets during incidents.
Marketing has nothing to do with status pages.
- I highly doubt AWS health dashboards are owned by marketing
- https://updog.ai/status/openai issue history looks terrible. Wonder how you ping openAI for this; with a completion attempt on a particular model?
- It is based on the impact on Datadog's customers, not on synthetic queries / pings
- From the page:
> API health is inferred by analyzing aggregated and anonymized telemetry from across the Datadog customer base.
- What's updog?
- Nothing much. How bout you?
- Ah, you have fallen for it:
- Wasn't the first reference to this joke in the office, also is it just me or do I remember this guy from either breaking bad or the office or (both??)
Was his name neil on breaking bad or the office, I think his name was neil in the office, one of the warehouse workers right?
- 2003 https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/updog
Personally my favorite usage of the joke is from Kitboga:

- Better Call Saul
- I know I could sure use some updog right about now.
- Isn't that a kind of yoga pose?

- HN is starting to feel like early 2010s Reddit and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

- We've been observing EC2 instances launched in us-east-1c (use1-az2) remain in Pending status for a very long time / indefinitely, starting at around 16:00 UTC.
- We were seeing ECS Fargate capacity weirdness in us-east-1 earlier.
- Had some very weird behaviour from cloudfront used purely to serve images from s3. Mostly huge slowdowns and outright failures on endpoints. Was about 15 hours ago that I noticed it by chance.
Was nothing on the aws status pages and no alerts/errors in my console. Eventually it sped up again.
- We noticed massive latency from cloudfront spent the first part of my day migrating services out.
- I'm Ben from https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
We are not seeing anything right now... keeping an eye out but things are normal.
- I would think that data centers scale up horizontally and a failure of one node should only affect a limited number of customers. Barring any centralized DNS mess up of-course.
- I'm currently in the process of spinning up a k8s in us-west-2 and no issues, but, as others have said, us-east-1 is the problem child so I guess we'll see.
- It's wonky for sure, but only to certain IP ranges.
- Yes, aws was done. I am very irritated with aws now. This is 3rd time. Pricing is also very high…
Thinking to switch to another platform.
- Don't see any issues in us-east-2 (Ohio) with my infra, but typically issues arise in us-east-1.
- Down detector is much much higher when there is a real problem.
There might be something, but wouldn’t be widespread.
- Most of the reports on the downdetector heatmap are coming from the NYC area, that's probably more likely to be a network issue (or even, if you can imagine it, DNS) than a real AWS failure since it's well into business hours on the West Coast.

- I think it may be down, showing early signs based on location services (geofencing) warning.
- I was thinking the same thing as some sites like Google were taking a LONG time to load.
- Google probably isn't using AWS for any of their infrastructure.
- Internet has been very sluggish for me today too. Something may be going on (not necessarily AWS)
- I got a down status on https://leetcode.com/..It may be related.

- still slow down
