Recent EC2 Problems

Read Original

The article describes a severe, unresolved AWS EC2 network outage over a weekend, preventing SSH access to critical instances like an Nginx load balancer and a MySQL master. It details the recovery process, including forced instance replacement, challenges with detaching EBS volumes, creating snapshots, and re-establishing MySQL replication. The author critiques EC2's lack of a direct console for emergency access and the frustration with opaque outage communication from Amazon.
