Amazon Web Services (AWS) didn't have a relaxing Sunday night before the work week ahead, with its EC2 instances in its main US-EAST-1 region struggling. And, as of Monday morning PDT, some users are still reporting trouble, although the AWS status page now reports, "The issue has been fully resolved and the service is operating normally."

It all began at 20:11 PDT, when the AWS status page announced the platform was suffering from degraded performance in its main availability zone."Existing EC2 instances within the affected availability zone that use EBS volumes may also experience impairment due to stuck IO to the attached EBS volume(s)," a notice said 30 minutes later.
