Who has been affected by the Amazon S3 outage?

by .
7 replies
So far these tools/services/webistes I use have been affected:

- Slack
- Trello
- Quora
- Giphy
- Instagram

Also Reported:
- Medium
- Profit Copilot

Let me know if you've encountered any IM related sites that have been affected and I'll update this list.

Edit: For those using aws/s3 services, you might be able to file for a partial refund (technically the refund is based as bonus amazon credits) based on their Service Level Agreement (see here) if you've been affected.

However, watch out for their disclaimer in the footer
Quoted From Amazon Service Level Agreement:
The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of Amazon S3, or any other Amazon S3 performance issues: (i) that result from a suspension described in Section 6.1 of the AWS Agreement; (ii) caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of Amazon S3; (iii) that result from any actions or inactions of you or any third party; (iv) that result from your equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within our direct control); or (v) arising from our suspension and termination of your right to use Amazon S3 in accordance with the AWS Agreement (collectively, the “Amazon S3 SLA Exclusions”). If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in our calculation of the Error Rate, then we may issue a Service Credit considering such factors at our discretion.

    All of my S3 links are working perfectly.

    Is it just sites hosted on S3?

    Was just on TechCrunch:

    Update (2:10 PM PT): AWS says that it’s now fully recovered in terms of resolving the error rates it was seeing, and S3 service is now “operating normally.”
