Amazon AWS seems to be down

1 points by absc ↗ HN
tarsnap.com stopped responding, after a quick check, it seems that AWS (the backing storage for the service), is down. The aws status page timeouts as well.

Nope, everything seems to be working fine in AWS for me. Status page works fine, and everything is showing as operating normally.

Likely a local issue to your internet provider.

tarsnap.com working, resolvable, and provides a website.

Oooook, so it seems to be something here in my zone (Italy). Need to check why then. Maybe it's the DNS I'm using (quad9)
No issues here either. Perhaps it's an AWS local to you? Or your region?
If it's for you, it's maybe some hiccup in my zone (Italy)
Just an update. I can properly resolve the DNS of tarsnap.com. It smell like a routing problem as all the connections to a aws IP simply times out.
Definitely just a routing hicup with my provider (I think). Sorry for the noise.
For this reason don’t post “is down” messages here. It is likely just noise and providers aren’t looking here to see the status of their service
