What is S3?


It's the internet's hard drive. :)


Amazon cloud storage.

Don't worry John Rob probably tripped over the power cord for it while he was in Fresno.  :tongue2:
“The way I see it, every time a man gets up in the morning he starts his life over. Sure, the bills are there to pay, and the job is there to do, but you don't have to stay in a pattern. You can always start over, saddle a fresh horse and take another trail.” ― Louis L'Amour

What does that mean, the cloud down?  Does it mean I can't buy right now?  I shall go into everlasting depression if that happens.

A huge amount of websites will also be down because they use S3 for storage.

Just went to Amazon.  Looks fine.  Put "clocks" in search just to check for anything, clicked on a clock and put it in cart and there it is.  Now, I have deleted the clock and that worked.  I don't see anything wrong.

Yep. Mostly seems to be hitting AWS hosted websites from Wix and a few other services. I have several personal and business sites that are all down now. If anyone asks, this isn't the Amazon.com store but Amazon Web Services hosting. I understand IMDB and Instagram are down in parts of the country right now.

Could be your timing.

I'd be surprised if this didn't affect Amazon itself though. They're a big believer in "eating your own dogfood".

The IoT stuff in my home isn't working either.

Appears to be focused on the US-EAST-1 S3 servers.  Some of our enterprise services are taking a hit right now.  Some unavailable some slow.  On the personal side, Amazon order histories are unavailable.
There are no evil thoughts except one: the refusal to think.

My Prime Now order earlier today arrived right in the middle of its delivery window, so I'm good!   :thumbsup2:
