Major AWS outage, IMDb belongs to Amazon and is likely hosted exclusively there.

Based on the failure reports there, it looks like there was some initial outage, and then three hours later another, though I guess it might also be just people waking up and trying to use it.

It sounds like there are multiple ongoing problems, based on the timeline in the above article. Maybe cascading issues from the initial failure. Maybe someone managed to get into their systems and are trying to disrupt things. shrugs

EDIT2: Sounds like their us-east-1 customers aren't gonna be paying for EC2 this month.

Region-Level SLA

For Amazon EC2 with all running instances deployed concurrently across two or more AZs in the same region (or at least two regions if there is only one AZ in a given region), AWS will use commercially reasonable efforts to make Amazon EC2 available for each AWS region with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.99%, in each case during any monthly billing cycle (the “Region-Level SLA”). In the event Amazon EC2 does not meet the Region-Level SLA, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.

Monthly Uptime Percentage	Service Credit Percentage
Less than 99.99% but equal to or greater than 99.0%	10%
Less than 99.0% but equal to or greater than 95.0%	30%
Less than 95.0%	100%

https://uptime.is/

99.99% is only 52 minutes downtime per year or 4 minutes per month.
99% is 3.5 days per year or 7 hours per month
95% is 18 days per year or 1.5 days per month

That seems pretty reasonable for a company like aws, actually.

The SLA guarantees here appear to be monthly, rather than annual, though.
