Questions

Is Amazon Web Services (AWS) down, or is it just me?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) itself reports a problem right now, so it is probably not just you.

How do we know?

We read the official Amazon Web Services (AWS) status page and load aws.amazon.com from our own probes in several cities. People can also report problems here. Their reports appear separately and may reveal issues before a provider update.

How often do we check?

The status page every 2.5 minutes, day and night, and the website every 5 minutes. We keep 90 days of history: a day we have no reading for shows as "no data yet", never as working.
