We are getting errors across multiple AWS API's. It's nothing to do with Opsworks itself, rather it appears like there is an internal networking issue.

Both SQS and SNS were erroring and now SQS has gone down completly with all requests timing out.

Looks like there's critical infrastructure in us-east-1 that's broken and causing a ripple effect across all of AWS

Our platform is entirely hosted in ap-southeast-2 but we've had our EC2 instances deregistered and OpsWorks reporting them terminated where EC2 is showing them active and they're still reachable via SSH

Yeah, we don't use OpsWorks and had SQS/SNS/SES trouble as well -- thankfully those are not used to serve production traffic. From the set of services affected, it looks like Amazon's internal Kafka-like pub/sub system went down.
