Looks like AWS' GovCloud West Region is down. We're getting 500 errors, and you know it's serious because the service health dashboard acknowledges it: https://status.aws.amazon.com/govcloud
I'm a relatively new govcloud user and this is impacting my work today. Does anybody here have a sense of how long outages like this typically take to resolve?
This is the first of its kind I recall seeing in GovCloud (customer for a few years now), but given their clientele I wouldn't be surprised if its very high priority.

As far as I can tell from some of my automation, the outage started between 1 and 1:15pm Eastern and the outage was "fixed" between 3:15 and 3:30 pm.
I say "fixed" because we're still seeing lots of slowness in the API responses.
