Amazon Web Services (AWS) network problems January 16, 2019 (resolved)
Update 9:30 PM Pacific time: the problem described below is resolved, as Amazon is no longer sending data through the problematic route to our servers.
Original post: Our monitoring systems are showing that this evening, there have been short periods of network failures between our data center and some Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers on the US East Coast. This appears to be due to a problem Amazon is having connecting to an intermediate “Internet backbone” connection in Virginia run by a third party.
This isn’t affecting other connections, so most of our customers are unaffected, and we see no overall drop in traffic.
