Amazon S3 about three or four hours worked intermittently, Medium, Slack, Coursera, Trello lay

From about 9 pm to 1 am Moscow time there were interruptions in the work of the Amazon S3 cloud storage. It began with a message on Twitter “S3 is experiencing high error rates. We are working hard on recovering, ”although the world has learned about it before: the sites Medium, Slack, Coursera, Trello, Adobe, and many more stopped working.

At the same time, the status.aws.amazon.com status page did not work for some time. Well, it didn’t work - it worked, but it showed that everything is fine, everything is calm in Baghdad, “Service is operating normally”.

Addition from ValdikSS : Razer mouse users could not change the DPI, because you probably need a connection to Amazon.

Unlike the fall of the hitlab, where at the time of the epic feil, the guys launched an online stream of recovery, Amazon only occasionally gave meager messages on Twitter in the series “we found the root of the problem and are working on it.
')
There is no detailed information on what the root of the problem was, so I hope there will be some detailed press release.
