  Hello. We are currently unable to remove the A line service alert from our website and app because of the widespread Amazon AWS outage. A trains are no longer running local in Brooklyn. We will continue to post updates here as we have them.

  @ProgRok We are working to resolve this quickly. We are impacted by the widespread AWS outage and hope to get our customers up and running soon. Most streaming should work as expected during this time.

  The “cloud” only works for true life or death apps w/ 6 “nines” true uptime (not an avg.) — imagine hearing “sorry, can't analyze your spouse's aneurysm for a few hours” 😳 W/ multiple annual outages ea, MSFT, AWS, Goog have a *long* way to go https://techcrunch.com/...

  @RSS is one of the companies affected by the AWS system outage. Login and uploads not processing. Delivery and distribution of all episodes are unaffected. Public podcast pages are also available. New uploads will resume as soon as the issue is resolved.

  @b_t_walsh Hi Blake. Yes, we are indeed down due to the current AWS issues. Our team is working hard to bring our site back online ASAP. We'll also be sure to pause our article recommendations until we're back. Thanks for your patience! https://twitter.com/...

  you really get a sense for how Amazon is winning the cloud war when an AWS outage hits. Huge parts of the internet dropped offline due to AWS issues yesterday, but we rarely see the same when Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud have outages https://www.theverge.com/...

  Amazon closed 2% up after a day-long (and still going) AWS outage that took down a good chunk of the internet with it. AWS accounts for more than half of Amazon's operating profits. https://techcrunch.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Some companies I've seen reporting issues due to the AWS outage: Adobe Spark, Anchor, Capital Gazette, Coinbase, DataCamp, Getaround, Glassdoor, Flickr, iRobot, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Pocket, RadioLab, Roku, Tampa Bay Times, and Vonage. A lot of places rely on AWS!

  AWS' outage has been going on for at least a couple of hours. The AWS status page ( https://status.aws.amazon.com/) says that “for the issue affecting the Kinesis Data Streams API in the US-EAST-1 Region” it has identified the cause and is working on a fix. https://www.theverge.c…

  I... can't vacuum... because us-east-1 is down.

  With the AWS outage ongoing, how will they manage to dump all of the service enhancements / announcements that they've been holding back all year but weren't important enough for the keynote?
