What started as a small issue affecting some instances of Amazon?s Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) in North Virginia became a full-blown outage of AWS in North Virginia. Major services, such as Reddit, Foursquare, Minecraft and Heroku, are down. GitHub, imgur, Pocket, HipChat, Coursera and others are affected.
Reddit experienced hiccups at first when only the Elastic Bloc System was affected, but then seemed to go back to normal for most people. It is now down again.
Many other services are now down as the issue is now affecting other parts of Amazon Web Services. Amazon?s RDS database instances and Elastic Beanstalk are down in North Virginia. Minecraft, Pinterest, Foursquare and Airbnb are down. Finally, AWS?s ElastiCache and CloudWatch are experiencing delays and connectivity issues.
Heroku currently reports elevated error rates for both the production service and the development service. Many smaller services are affected by the outage.
As always, users and developers are wondering why half of the Internet is going down every time an AWS data center experiences issues.
