Amazon S3 outage and AWS status

Amazon S3 being the ‘Simple Storage Service’ another words the three S’s is a service that allows users to gain access to a very secure object storage facility. But all it takes to cause a little mayhem is an Amazon A3 outage or AWS downtime, and these kinds of problems do happen from time-to-time. Here you can check out if others are having an Amazon S3 outage as well as checking up on the AWS status.

The very easy to use Amazon S3 and is a great platform for IT teams and developers the kind of storage they need. They can store as well as retrieve data from anywhere online, to make things even more easy is the pay only for the storage you decide to use, no minimum fee or set up costs at all.

You can either use Amazon S3 with other AWS services such as Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and of course Amazon Glacier, or if you prefer just use it on its own.

  • The Saint

    Been trying to download a file on S3 since about 11 AM CST 02/28/17. Amazon’s server just times out every time. Texas

  • Alisa

    I see that the time in 2015 took 5 hours to fix. Oh, God.

  • Var Juan

    OMG!!!!! it’s really bad

  • Alisa

    Anyone feel like joining me in asking Amazon to replace all of our lost $$$?

  • Alisa

    Wow, Yahoo mail is down. Anyone know if this is connected?

  • skhatri@bpmsupreme.com

    Same issue with our website. S3 is down.

  • skhatri@bpmsupreme.com

    It might take 3-4 hours. I been waiting for more than 2 hours and website is also not working.

  • Tj Huang

    My school website uses Amazon AWS. I can’t do my homework now. R.I.P.

    SES is down for me as well. error { InternalFailure: An internal failure has occurred.

    hi, thank you for your reply. Would you know if our sites will lose ranking if they are down?

  • joe

    Any updates? Still seeing high high latency on my end

  • shruti arora

    I’m in the same boat. It was frustrating to not be able to access S3 for over an hour. Hope the issue gets resolved soon!

  • Alisa

    Still really bad. My web builder just says, “We’ll keep you updated. Don’t try to do anything while it’s down”. No updates for about an hour.

  • David Hughes

    At least the Service Health Dashboard is showing all of the issues now. Progress?

  • DJ

    Amazon support is very poor

  • Vladislav Qwerty

    Down in Russia, Trello, Ionic and so on…

  • Alisa

    Update at 11:35 AM PST: We have now repaired the ability to update the
    service health dashboard. The service updates are below. We continue to
    experience high error rates with S3 in US-EAST-1, which is impacting
    various AWS services. We are working hard at repairing S3, believe we
    understand root cause, and are working on implementing what we believe
    will remediate the issue.

  • Alisa

    Via the Amazon Sevice Health Dashboard

  • Arun Patel

    It is up now.

  • Nicky

    I just like to come here to vent my anger at the Amazon service i am getting at the moment. Even though Amazon never look here it is a good place to be to get answers or some sort of feed back from other users., My problem is simple, the API Feeds are rubbish.
