Amazon.com down again?

5 points by icey ↗ HN
It looks like Amazon's web site is failing once again on Monday, June 9th around 10AM PST.

After last Friday's multiple-hour outage, is anyone becoming concerned about their ability to reliably keep a service up?

Sorry for the duplicated posting (This happened on Friday as well), but with Amazon's visibility being this high, I thought it was warranted.

It's working in Europe right now.

I've been experiencing flakiness with .com and .co.uk since an hour or so ago.

It seems .co.uk is down at the moment. ("Http/1.1 Service Unavailable").

A week or so before the first outage, the .co.uk search facility stopped working temporarily - anything I searched for (and knew they do sell), it said there were no results.

I was surprised that the last outage was mentioned in the BBC's financial news. However, it was significant enough to affect the share price. Further outages could adversely affect Amazon's market value.

Surprisingly, AMZN isn't tanking right now... it's down, but the whole sector is down.
