Increased API Error Rates and Launches

9:22 AM PST We are investigating increased API error rates for cluster and node group operations in the US-EAST-1 region. We are also investigating increased Fargate pod launch failures. Existing EKS clusters and managed node groups are operating normally.

11:03 AM PST Customer’s applications that are backed by pods already running are not impacted. We are continuing to experience API error rates in the US-EAST-1 region. EKS customers are experiencing errors when creating, upgrading and deleting EKS clusters and managed node groups. Existing managed node groups may experience errors scaling up or down. Customers will experience errors launching new Fargate pods.

1:55 PM PST We continue to work towards recovery of the issue affecting Amazon EKS in the US-EAST-1 Region. Customer applications that are backed by pods already running are not impacted. Also applications and pods can be started and run on EC2 instances that are already part of the cluster. EKS customers are experiencing errors when creating, upgrading and deleting EKS clusters and managed node groups. Customers will experience errors launching new Fargate pods, running Fargate pods are not impacted.

3:10 PM PST We continue working towards recovery of the issue affecting Amazon EKS in the US-EAST-1 Region. EKS Fargate pod launches are now seeing recovery. Customer applications that are backed by pods already running are not impacted. Applications and pods can be started and run on EC2 instances that are already part of the cluster. Customers can also create Managed Node groups for existing clusters. EKS customers will still experience errors when creating, upgrading and deleting EKS clusters and managed node groups.

4:29 PM PST We continue to work towards recovery of the issue affecting Amazon EKS in the US-EAST-1 Region. EKS Fargate pod launches have now recovered and is operating normally. Customer applications that are backed by pods already running are not impacted. Applications and pods can be started and run on EC2 instances that are already part of the cluster. Customers can also create Managed Node groups for existing clusters. EKS customers will still experience errors when creating, upgrading and deleting EKS clusters and managed node groups.

6:11 PM PST We continue to observe partial recovery for EKS cluster and node group API operations in the US-EAST-1 Region and are working toward full resolution. Customers may still experience errors when creating, upgrading and deleting EKS clusters and managed node groups.

9:48 PM PST We continue to observe partial recovery for EKS cluster and node group API operations in the US-EAST-1 Region and are working towards full resolution. We expect to see complete recovery once the on-going Kinesis issue is fully resolved. Until then, customers may still experience errors when creating, upgrading and deleting EKS clusters and managed node groups.

11:04 PM PST Between 5:15 AM and 10:20 PM PST, we experienced elevated API errors for cluster, node group operations and Fargate pod launches US-EAST-1 Region. Existing clusters and node groups were unaffected during the event. The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally.
