We are continuing to montior the situation. Currently SMS notifications are delivering as normal. However, Voice/Call notification are deeply backlogged and you may experience repeated calls for incidents that have already been actioned in your On-Call instance.

We are working directly with our notification provider to help migitate this isse as soon as possible.

Where possible, to avoid single points of failure, please take action to diversify your On-Call personal paging policies to include all forms of notification: SMS, Voice, Push, WhatsApp

Current AWS status:

Increased Error Rates and Latencies
Oct 20 2:27 AM PDT We are seeing significant signs of recovery. Most requests should now be succeeding. We continue to work through a backlog of queued requests. We will continue to provide additional information.

Oct 20 2:22 AM PDT We have applied initial mitigations and we are observing early signs of recovery for some impacted AWS Services. During this time, requests may continue to fail as we work toward full resolution. We recommend customers retry failed requests. While requests begin succeeding, there may be additional latency and some services will have a backlog of work to work through, which may take additional time to fully process. We will continue to provide updates as we have more information to share, or by 3:15 AM.
