About AWS
AWS is the largest cloud provider, running hundreds of services across compute (EC2, Lambda, ECS, EKS), storage (S3, EBS, EFS), databases (RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora), networking (VPC, Route 53, CloudFront), AI (Bedrock, SageMaker), and more, across dozens of regions globally. Outages are almost always scoped to a single service in a single region, e.g. EC2 in us-east-1 (Virginia), which historically has been the most incident-prone region due to legacy dependencies. A full us-east-1 outage causes internet-wide ripples because many global services route through it for IAM and control-plane operations. AWS Personal Health Dashboard is the authoritative per-account incident view.
The official AWS status page is at health.aws.amazon.com/health/status. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.
