At 8:46 PDT this morning, CloudStatus reported that several of the AWS services were experiencing outages. Amazon posted that they were aware of the issue at 9:05 PDT on status.aws.amazon.com.
We saw internal server errors coming from the majority of our S3 and SQS monitoring agents. In addition, we experienced other problems with EC2 (many ec2 zombies being created) that may be related.
The outage has lasted nearly 5 hours, and Amazon is still working hard at rectifying the issues.
