"A May 7 incident report time-stamped 5:25 PM PDT states that AWS spotted "instance impairments" in the use1-az4 availability zone of the US-EAST-1 Region. A subsequent update states "EC2 instances and EBS volumes hosted on impacted hardware are affected by the loss of power during the thermal event.""
"The cloud giant's most recent update, time-stamped 6:47 PM PDT, says "We continue to work towards mitigating the increased temperatures to its normal levels," but warns "Other AWS services that depend on the affected EC2 instances and EBS volumes in this Availability Zone may also experience impairments.""
"AWS has "weighed away traffic for most services at this time" and suggested companies shift workloads into other US-EAST-1 availability zones. Good luck getting that done because the update admits "Customers may experience longer than usual provisioning times.""
AWS reported instance impairments in the use1-az4 availability zone within the US-EAST-1 region after a thermal event caused a loss of power. EC2 instances and EBS volumes hosted on the impacted hardware were affected by the power loss. AWS continued efforts to reduce increased temperatures to normal levels and warned that other services depending on the affected EC2 instances and EBS volumes in the same availability zone may also experience impairments. AWS weighed away traffic for most services and advised shifting workloads to other availability zones within US-EAST-1. Customers may face longer than usual provisioning times while mitigation continues.
