No. Amazon just understates the issues. Reddit, Heroku etc. all have problems.

Even if they do understate the issue, It's limited to US-EAST 1, and is an EBS issue. Saying that EC2 is "down" because of this is totally off the mark - I've got dozens of EBS volmes in EAST 1 that are unaffected, plus all of the other zones that are operating normally...
EC2 instances are affected by the EBS issues. But you're right, it's not correct that EC2 is "down".
Not all instances are EBS backed.
EC2 is not down. My EC2 sites are all functioning.
All my instances across 3 zones are functioning normally.
