The site I manage is load balanced across both AZs ap-southeast-2a and ap-southeast-2b which did not save it. At the moment ec2 statuses are not being updated which is preventing ELBs from registering instances as healthy.

Both AZs are directly under the deluge and I don't believe only one AZ is affected for a second.

This is the most concerning thing to me. The Multi-AZ, redundant setup is worthless if the ELB can't do its job properly. I've seen some funky behavior from the ELBs when it comes to instance state. They really need to make this better.
