Is AWS EC2 down for anyone else?


My instances are not responding and I cannot reboot or stop them or launch new ones.

Yes, eu-central-1c all instances down. A lot of services responding with 503, console has problems as well (errors loading services, API calls with 503). Started 7:29 UTC.

We saw also connection timeouts to DynamoDB and Kinesis from ec2 instances.

Update from AWS:

12:08 AM PST We are investigating increased network connectivity errors to instances in a single Availability Zone in the EU-CENTRAL-1 Region.

12:28 AM PST We are experiencing elevated API error rates and network connectivity errors in a single Availability Zone. We have identified the root cause and are working to resolve the issue.

Update: this seems to affect Frankfurt on all accounts I've tried.

We're on eu-central-1 as well, one AZ of 3 unresponsive

Everything in eu-central-1c was affected. All ec2 servers where not available. We are still experiencing issues because autoscaling to other AZs is not working.
