Funny how there is a widely reported problem and everything is green on AWS health check site http://status.aws.amazon.com/

Given that none of my running AWS services experienced any downtime, that seems entirely reasonable.

Is Amazon e-com website is dependent on AWS ? I don't think so. Pointers please.

Yes, it runs on EC2.

Just reported: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia) Increased API Error Rates

Update: AWS Management Console: Elevated error rates as of 2:15 CST

I hate how they weasel out and display a green checkbox, but with a tiny little "i" for information on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia).

I deserve to see something visually distinct if there is a problem. This is purposefully poor UX.

If I'm visiting the status page for your site, it's probably because I'm a technical user who suspects something is broken. Don't you dare hide what is broken from me.

Console is not the only thing faltering. Our system is not able to send any emails using SES

Same here, can't send SES emails via the API (altho SMTP works for us)
