From AWS status page for Asia Pacific:

10:47 PM PDT We are investigating increased connectivity issues for EC2 instances in the AP-SOUTHEAST-2 Region.

11:08 PM PDT We continue to investigate connectivity issues for some instances in a single Availability Zone and increased API error rates for the EC2 APIs in the AP-SOUTHEAST-2 Region.

11:49 PM PDT We can confirm that instances have experienced a power event within a single Availability Zone in the AP-SOUTHEAST-2 Region. Error rates for the EC2 APIs have improved and launches of new EC2 instances are succeeding within the other Availability Zones in the Region.

Jun 5, 12:31 AM PDT We have restored power to the affected Availability Zone and are working to restore connectivity to the affected instances.

It took them an hour to figure out that their connectivity issues were caused by losing power to an entire Availability Zone? Maybe they should add an alert for "AZ has no power" or put it on a dashboard...

I'm joking of course, but that's what ran through my mind while reading that timeline.

Wasn't quite that simple. I lost connectivity to instances that did not reboot so I'm guessing it took out some network elements.
