Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What AWS does

Amazon Web Services is the world's largest cloud computing platform, providing over 200 services including compute, storage, databases, and machine learning. AWS powers a significant portion of the internet, hosting everything from small startups to major enterprises like Netflix, Airbnb, and NASA. Its global infrastructure spans dozens of regions and availability zones.

What an outage looks like

AWS outages can manifest in many ways depending on the affected service. Common symptoms include websites returning 500 errors, apps failing to load, API timeouts, and inability to access S3-hosted files or images. If core services like EC2 or Lambda are affected, entire applications may become unreachable.

What to do about it

Check health.aws.amazon.com for the AWS Service Health Dashboard, which shows per-service and per-region status. Identify which specific AWS service is affected and whether it's in your region. If you use multi-region deployments, consider failing over to a healthy region while the incident is being resolved.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says AWS is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from all 18 regions to find out where it breaks.

AWS outage FAQ

How can I tell which AWS service is causing my issue?

The AWS Service Health Dashboard at health.aws.amazon.com shows status for every service in every region. You can also check your AWS Personal Health Dashboard in the AWS Console, which shows events specifically affecting your account and resources.

Does an AWS outage mean the entire internet is down?

No, AWS outages are almost always limited to specific services in specific regions. Even during major incidents, most AWS regions and services continue operating normally. However, because so many websites rely on AWS, a regional outage can affect a large number of popular sites simultaneously.

How often does AWS go down?

Individual AWS services maintain very high availability, typically 99.99% or better. However, with over 200 services across dozens of regions, some component is experiencing degradation on any given day. Major outages affecting core services like EC2 or S3 in a full region are rare, occurring a few times per year.

What is the difference between an AWS region outage and a service outage?

A service outage affects one specific AWS service (like S3 or Lambda) potentially across multiple regions. A regional outage affects multiple services within a single geographic region. Regional outages are more disruptive to applications hosted in that region but don't affect workloads in other regions.

Will AWS compensate me for downtime?

AWS offers service credits through their SLA if uptime falls below guaranteed thresholds. Each service has its own SLA, typically guaranteeing 99.99% monthly uptime. You need to submit a credit request through the AWS Support Center within 30 days of the incident.

How we measure this

We request AWS's public endpoint every 30 minutes from Fly.io regions across six continents — 18 of them answered the most recent check.
A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
Where AWS publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.

Get alerted when AWS goes down

This page refreshes every 30 minutes. Your own monitors run as often as every 30 seconds, from the same 18 regions, and tell you the moment something breaks.
