AWS has just reached out to us with a statement: “AWS is operating normally and this reporting is incorrect. The only resource on the internet that provides accurate data on the availability of our services is the AWS Health Dashboard.”
True enough, according to the AWS Health Dashboard there are currently no problems at AWS. Which makes this huge spike on DownDetector even more unusual. Rest assured, we’re looking into what’s going on right now.”

You may have noticed on Down detector that it’s a lot more than just AWS services, Microsoft systems seem to be down too. For something like Outlook, I get it — some companies run their email servers through AWS, but to see Minecraft, Halo Reach and Copilot go down too? This is an Azure problem.
Our intrepid reporter Scott is covering this outage live.

This feels like deja vu. 78% of user reports are being made about US-EAST-1.
