edit: of course amazon marketplace runs on AWS, but its not a total outage. Some users will experience different outages, and different products that depend on AWS will be affected in different ways. Current things I've confirmed disrupted include the AWS console, some S3 buckets, various APIs to infrastructure-as-code eleements (lambda etc)
edit2: AWS has confirmed US-EAST-1 is the affected datacenter
That might explain something ... I have been trying to print out RETURN instructions from the the RETURNS link on the Amazon website. Its been down since about 1000EST. Still not working as of 2:12PM.
Their US-EAST-1 data center is experiencing big outages. Websites that are using the US-EAST-1 region are all experiencing problems including my shit. I can't deploy anything right now or use their console.
I didn't realize how many different cells AWS has in regards to hosting. That makes sense though, probably has redundancies that allow for much of the system to operate when most of it is down.
Go have a look at Down Detector . Notice how all the graphs on the front page are similar? They run on Amazon's networks. Probably not all of them but most listed there definitely do.
Half of my smart home stuff that uses cloud comms is either down or intermittent. At least I have ways to control most of it internally either with an app that is still up or my z-wave controller.
You don't have to be using Amazon to be affected by an Amazon outage.
Frankly I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about businesses suffering by losing access to their apps or email. I know for example that I read Splunk services were down in some areas. Real stuff depends on these networks.
Half the world's cloud applications run on AWS. Think about it like this, random web or cloud services are not working. This could be anything from hospital supply chain to random websites!!!!
Certain websites were intermittent last night from 6pm to 11pm, then my service went down entirely for 30 minutes. It was back up and everything was running fine, albeit slower until an hour ago. We are now having intermittent problems with specific websites again.
I'm in NY and placed an order today. Yes, I needed to order from amazon. It would not accept the gift card I used but did accept my bank debit.
It supposedly went through but I never received email confirmation. It doesn't show up in my acct purchases. My cart is now empty. Click on the help button and it goes to 'page not found'. Waiting to see if my bank acct shows the purchase.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), not amazon.com (marketplace)
AWS is one of the largest infrastructure players and runs a lot of stuff (netflix, slack, facebook, huge list)

"We'll just take our competitors offline so you have to order from Amazon.com."
*datacenters
tons of buildings make up that one region alone.

Must be trying to patch New World and it spilled out into our world. That MMO of theirs is a hot mess.

Know the feeling. <cat poster> Hang in there </cat poster>
Must be comms.... Venmo is down, however....
Mine too. Maybe it's isolated areas .

Congrats, it was down for almost everyone when they posted this. Half the fuckin internet was down a few minutes ago.
It depends on region and what you're using the internet for. https://status.aws.amazon.com/

Down for me
fakebook is down
Furious? If you are furious cause Amazon has been down for 2 hours you might be a fucking idiot.

"10 Days. Darkness." May mean 10 days of internet outages. This is day 1. I expect the outages to ramp up in frequency.
I work for a bank, we were having some big latency issues yesterday. Much better today. But we weren't down...
My internet went out yesterday for a bit. Tennessee here.
Lol when you don’t use Amazon
Wow - thousands of users around the world.

Probably good news for the real Amazon.
Yup. Tool at work has been down all day, it's a customer facing tool too. Not Good.

Probably just a ploy to get everybody to hurry it up on making their purchases
My ISP Spectrum is down.
I was able to log on but not shop. No big loss.

Not here it isn't. No problem loading it.
Mine works
Works for me!
Only parts of Amazon are down such as buyer seller messaging systems, probably barcode communications, internal transfer systems etc.
