UPDATE about 2 hours ago - at 02/21/2026 01:22AM

We are actively working on restoring routes that were no longer being advertised. This is resulting in connectivity issues for some customers from VPC resources in N.Virginia (US-EAST-1) Region to on-premise locations. We have identified the root cause and are actively trending towards recovery. While we work toward restoring all affected routes, some customers may see intermittent recovery while others may experience impact until we have fully mitigated the issue. We expect full recovery in approximately 90 minutes, but we are actively working on ways to increase the velocity of recovery. We will continue to provide updates as we have additional information to share, or within the next 45 minutes.

During this time, some customers may be missing previously advertised routes from their VPCs to their on-premise locations, resulting in connectivity issues from VPC resources in the N.Virginia (US-EAST-1) Region. We have identified the root cause and are actively working on multiple parallel paths to mitigate this issue. We will provide additional information within the next 30 minutes.
