What the? My local internet provider uses Amazon Authentication for their webpage?
rozodru@piefed.social 5 months ago
someone likely borked IAM.

Me: *watching random thing error out*
Me: *restarting everything, feeling annoyed*
Me: Rats. Well. I guess I’ll see what Lemmy’s got on
Me: Ooohhhhhh

I feel this in my midnight cursing and investigation.
I gotta get HAss going so I can still use my lights when the clowd breaks.

I suspect the big problem is that IAM is affected and it is not decentralized, which is causing other systems worldwide (even outside of AWS’ us-east-1 location) which rely on IAM in us-east-1 to also fail. I’m having trouble even logging into the AWS console to check on my European servers.
corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Butbutbut AWS reliability and many regions and zones means this can’t happen! ;-)
JustJack23@slrpnk.net 5 months ago
Sounds reasonable, the first errors I encountered were all 403.
General_Effort@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Outage is ending.
Oct 20 2:27 AM PDT We are seeing significant signs of recovery. Most requests should now be succeeding. We continue to work through a backlog of queued requests. We will continue to provide additional information.

I’ve just been on Reddit and it’s having some serious issues right now.
KaChilde@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Reddit has had issues for years, that’s why so many of us are here.
Oh, you meant the aws thing.
Flatfire@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Using the old interface seems to yield better results there. It appears to be their newer API model that’s suffering.

I thought VRChat was down, but I can log in on the Quest stand alone version. For some reason, the PC version would flash the login screen then just sit in that blue void not actually loading anything. :/
neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
Damn! I was getting pissed at my isp because so much is loading slowly.
I guess this explains the slow loading times for various things.

I was about to restart my whole network while watching something on Stremio. One look at Lemmy was enough to turn that off and pick up a book. Funny how books never buffer 😂

Is Signal down for anyone else?
Reddit seems to be having issues as well. hah
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 months ago
Yup, it’s maybe working again now. At least I got a message through just then.
otter@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
I got the test messages I exchanged with a friend earlier, but new messages are still stuck
cabbage@piefed.social 5 months ago
Yup, Signal is down. The one centralized service I’m still rooting for I guess. Disappointed they’re running on AWS.
J4g2F@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Yeah same no signal here on signal.
SrMono@feddit.org 5 months ago
Yea. It‘s affected, too.

Assimilate to the one true time zone. Resistance is futile.

homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ach. Fine.
spacelord@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Perplexity is down as well.
JustJack23@slrpnk.net 5 months ago
Aws us-east-1 seems to have problem, and we can now see what is hosted there.
KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
The most used region in AWS, so not surprising
zwerg@feddit.org 5 months ago
Also the region the PoC their new tech, so its known to be unreliable.
Mwa@thelemmy.club 5 months ago
I assumed Cloudflare tbh
Joeffect@lemmy.world 5 months ago
But amazon web service was down as down…
Mwa@thelemmy.club 5 months ago
Oh
dumplingry@lemmy.world 5 months ago
sad to see my favorite game clash royale down
cabbage@piefed.social 5 months ago
Seems like a fair bet that Amazon Web Services is having some problems?
I really love that the commercial internet runs on like three service providers. Would love to see it crash and burn.
CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It was much better with rack space leading the way. We never had outages. Ever.
troed@fedia.io 5 months ago
Meredith just tooted that Signal is down due to an AWS outage.
VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Signal us s AWS, fuck ! That’s deceiving, Where is security if it runs on Besos hardware ?
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 months ago
Toot toot! I still think it’s hilarious that this what they are called on mastodon. Great choice
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Travel back in time 20 years and that sentence makes you sound like a crazy person.
MTZ@lemmy.world 5 months ago
How long ago did you take the screenshot? Because I am signed in to two of those services right now and they are working 100% fine.
General_Effort@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Could be that your region relies on different servers, could be that only the sign-in is down.
Chozo@fedia.io 5 months ago
A lot of the affected services seem to be partially functional right now. It looks like the AWS network that went offline is one managing real-time analytics data, mostly.
MTZ@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ahhhhhhh, see. That makes sense!
butterycroissant@lemmy.world 5 months ago
about 10 mins ago
Vinny_93@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Could it be that web services are divided into regions
abfarid@startrek.website 5 months ago
Wtf is “whatnot”? How is it amongst such well-known stuff (except Instructure, too, I guess)?
Quexotic@infosec.pub 5 months ago
tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 5 months ago
Because it was just DNS. That’s how the issue presented and that’s what it was.
