    We are investigating elevated packet loss in the EU-SOUTH-2 Region.

  2. monitoring Oct 04, 2026, 04:36 PM UTC

    We are experiencing elevated packet loss with a single Availability Zone (eus2-az1) in the EU-SOUTH-2 Region. This issue is also resulting in elevated API latencies and error rates for other workflows and AWS Services. Engineers were automatically engaged and are working to identify the root cause and to mitigate the issue. We will provide you with another update by 10:15 AM PDT or sooner as new information becomes available.

  3. monitoring Oct 04, 2026, 05:06 PM UTC

    Our efforts to mitigate the elevated packet loss with a single Availability Zone (eus2-az1) in the EU-SOUTH-2 Region is still underway. We are seeing some signs of improvement as a result of multiple parallel efforts. We continue to work to confirm root cause and fully mitigate the issue. While we currently do not have an estimate for how long our actions will take, we will keep you informed of our progress and provide you with another update by 11:00 AM PDT or sooner as new information becomes available.

  4. monitoring Oct 04, 2026, 05:56 PM UTC

    We have identified the root cause and are currently focusing our mitigation efforts to drive full recovery. While we don't have an exact estimate for how long our current efforts will take, we do expect to see incremental improvements as our efforts proceed. We will provide you with another update by 11:45 AM PDT, or sooner if new information becomes available.

  6. monitoring Oct 04, 2026, 06:56 PM UTC

    Between 8:48 AM and 11:28 AM PDT, we experienced elevated packet loss within a single Availability Zone (eus2-az1) in the EU-SOUTH-2 Region. This issue resulted in elevated API latencies and error rates for multiple workflows and AWS Services. We were automatically alerted to the issue at 8:54 AM, and immediately began work to identify the root cause while taking multiple parallel paths to mitigate the issue. By 10:00 AM, our mitigation efforts had led to some improvements. By 10:38 AM, we identified the root cause as related to a networking configuration change that we were able to revert the change which led to full mitigation by 11:28 AM. The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally.

    We are investigating increased API error rates in the US-EAST-1 Region.

  2. monitoring Sep 21, 2026, 11:44 PM UTC

    We can confirm increased error rates affecting new instance launches, including elevated API error rates for RunInstances, CreateFleet, and related EC2 launch workflows in the US-EAST-1 Region. Customers attempting to launch new EC2 instances may experience launch failures or elevated API response latency. Our engineers are actively engaged and working towards recovering the issue. We are seeing initial signs of recovery. Existing instances remain unaffected. We recommend retrying failed RunInstances and CreateFleet API calls. We will provide an update by 5:30 PM PDT or sooner.

  3. monitoring Sep 22, 2026, 12:24 AM UTC

    Between 3:49 PM and 5:06 PM PDT, we experienced increased error rates affecting new instance launches in the US-EAST-1 Region. During this time, customers may have experienced elevated error rates when attempting to launch new EC2 instances through RunInstances, CreateFleet, and related EC2 launch workflows. AWS services that launch EC2 instances on behalf of customers, including Amazon ECS, AWS Fargate, Amazon EMR, amongst others were also impacted during this period. We identified the root cause as a recent deployment to a subsystem within the EC2 service responsible for processing instance launch requests. We initiated a rollback of the problematic deployment and began observing initial signs of recovery at 4:44 PM. Existing instances remain unaffected. The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally.

  3. monitoring Sep 03, 2026, 11:20 PM UTC

    We continue to see recovery holding steady for the STS AssumeRoleWithSAML and AssumeRoleWithWebIdentityAPIs in the US-WEST-2 Region. Error rates are now back to pre-event levels, and continue actively monitoring to confirm full recovery. We will provide another update by 5:15 PM or earlier.

  4. monitoring Sep 04, 2026, 12:07 AM UTC

    Between 2:12 PM and 3:18 PM PDT, we experienced increased API error rates affecting the STS AssumeRoleWithSAML and AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity APIs in the US-WEST-2 Region. The root cause was determined to be due to an issue with an STS subsystem responsible for communicating with external identity providers. Other AWS Services that rely on these identity federation protocols were also affected. At 3:18 PM, we observed signs of recovery and continued to monitor to ensure stability and full recovery. The issue is resolved and the service is operating normally at this time.
