I'm not sure if it is related to the Amazon meltdown, but no one was able to modify YouTube channel's backgrounds on 4/20, and most of 4/21. Any changes attempted caused the background to revert to the default settings.

SnapAppointments is glad they went with RackSpace over EC2 (knock on wood).

But but but it's the cloud how can the cloud crash!!! So we're suppose to be suckers and give up our computers that have hard drives and totally go with “the cloud” ..and then lose everything? Gee what comfort…

Amazon's CreateSpace has had a problem the last 2 days updating cocer design files

One King's Lane sent an email regarding their outage.

MoFuse – but we are fine now.

Apple App Store had downtime too. What'dya know….

IFModules eMail Manager… We are completely up now too.

Just store all of your most valuable data on the “cloud” and trust all your applications on the “cloud” because the “cloud” is perfectly safe right?*snicker* *snicker*

We've been hosted on Ec2 for almost 2 years now,and with some intelligent distribution between availability zones, + using ELB, we had < 15 minutes of down time to any public visitor in the last 48 hours We did lose (and still have lost) 4 or 7 EBS volumes. We usually get > 30M unique visitors/month. *I* (sysadmin) got a pat on the back. Scary ,but manageable.

I'm more than happy to keep ALL 18TB of my critical files on multiple local hard drives situated in a concrete basement and running on a UPS that originally ran the server room of my now defunct former employer. Last thing I need is to trust anyone else to care about my own stuff more than I do.

OleOle is still down; This is ridiculous, I still can't do anything to get things back up, and amazon's latest report from 15 minutes ago is:We've tried a couple of ideas to remove the bottleneck in opening up the APIs, each time we've learned more but haven't yet solved the problem. We are making progress, but much more slowly than we'd hoped. Right now we're setting up more control plane components that should be capable of working through the backlog of attach/detach state changes for EBS volumes. These are coming online, and we've been seeing progress on the backlog, but it's still too early to tell how much this will accelerate the process for us. Basically, they're saying they're trying some shit out, but they don't know if it'll work, and how long it will take – obviously they don't know how long it will take, since they can't fix the fucking problem. Anything they say about making progress is bullshit

gpxplus is down too

It might help if next time you actually know what you are talking about, before you open your mouth.

Some of the games on Kongregate were down as well from what I have been told.

[...] be a demonstration of Amazon’s cloud and media superiority ended up feeling more reminiscent of its recent massive cloud infrastructure failure. And perhaps worst of all, it didn’t seem like Amazon had learned much about customer service [...]
