> We are still investigating network connectivity issues for a subset of instances that have not automatically recovered. We will provide another status update by 09:00 US/Pacific.

Sometimes they do. If enough customers are affected, Amazon is "required" to disclose. The number, however, has never been disclosed to the public so we don't know the rubric. I have seen announcement about partial AZ failures myself.

Google doesn't say how many customers and how many instances are affected by this, so I will take it as a partial AZ / DC failure (a good number of racks are having issues).
