About AWS Status and Outage Monitoring

IsDown has monitored AWS continuously since May 2020, tracking this Cloud Platforms for 6 years. Over that time, we've documented 380 outages and incidents, averaging 5.6 per month. When AWS goes down, incidents typically resolve within 441 minutes based on historical data.

We monitor AWS's official status page across 5,228 components organized into 269 groups. IsDown interprets AWS statuses (operational, informational, degraded, and disruption) to deliver precise health metrics and filter alerts by the components you actually use.

When AWS is down, IsDown combines official status data with user reports for early detection. Vendors often delay acknowledging problems, so user reports help us alert you before the official announcement.

Engineering and operations teams rely on IsDown to track AWS status and receive verified outage alerts through Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, or 20+ other integrations.

How IsDown Monitors AWS

IsDown checks AWS's status page every few minutes, across all 5,228 components. We combine official status data with user reports to detect when AWS is down, often before the vendor announces it.

When AWS status changes, IsDown sends alerts to your preferred channels. Filter by severity to skip noise and focus on outages that affect your business.

What you get when monitoring AWS with IsDown

Track AWS incidents and downtimes by severity

IsDown checks AWS official status page for major/minor outages or downtimes. A major outage is when AWS experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. A minor incident is when AWS experiences a small issue affecting a small percentage of its customer's applications. An example is the performance degradation of an application. The moment we detect a AWS outage, we send you an alert and update your dashboard and status page.

Get alerted as soon as users report problems with AWS

AWS and other vendors don't always report outages on time. IsDown collects user reports to provide early detection of outages. This way, even without an official status update, you can stay ahead of possible problems.

All the details of AWS outages and downtimes

IsDown collects all information from the outages published in AWS status page to provide the context of the outage. If available, we gather the title, description, time of the outage, status, and outage updates. Another important piece of information is the affected services/regions which we use to filter the notifications that impact your business.

Only get alerted on the AWS outages that impact your business

IsDown monitors AWS and all their 5228 components that can be affected by an outage. IsDown allows you to filter the notifications and status page alerts based on the components you care about. For example, you can choose which components or regions affect your business and filter out all other outages. This way you avoid alert fatigue in your team.

Set up notifications via Slack, Datadog, PagerDuty, and more, when a service you monitor has issues or when maintenances are scheduled.

How IsDown compares to DownDetector when monitoring AWS?

IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if AWS is having problems. The big difference is that IsDown is a status page aggregator. IsDown monitors a service's official status page to give our customers a more reliable source of information instead of just relying on reports from users. The integration allows us to provide more details about AWS's Outages, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
