Amazon S3 down?

    It's working, it's just not connected to the internet. Reminds me of windows NT - it was secure, as long as it was not connected to any network.

    Can we mount s3 storage on VPS these days like actual storage?

    It's called s3fs, but I usually prefer to call it a big mistake

    You can, but by design this is not a good idea. This is why AWS launched EFS, which is essentially redundant NFS.

  • Why is anybody surprised? This happens all the time. OVH server I have is coming up on 2 years, only had that fiber cut interruption....

    That sucks. We need a shared beer fund for providers during big outages. Outage > 2h, we buy you beer. At least one thing to look forward to on a shitty day.

    I mainly wanted it for backup storage, would the EFS be better for that?

    No, EFS costs about 4 times more and you can only mount it from AWS. You do not require filesystem access via fuse if you want to store your backups there (s3).

    Create an archive of your data and upload it using CLI (i.e aws s3 cp mybackup.tar.gz s3://mybackups/28022017/)
    You can configure S3 to automatically transition the files to even cheaper storage types i.e infrequent storage or Glacier or delete the object.

    Yes, that is what I did before. I was hoping to go to a fuse setup for putting backups that are too large for me to compress and just need to be copied up.

  • Makenai said: No, EFS costs about 4 times more and you can only mount it from AWS

    I mean, you CAN mount it external by a loadbalancer - you however loose the AZ redundancy that way unless you do it complicated based on EC2 instances and at that point running your own NFS stack on EBS might make more sense...

    Point EBS - no issues, they had something similar (but not as long) some months ago but much more limited. Seems S3, EBS and EFS are by now 100% separated services except for backups, which again end up in S3 (means also that RDS backup jobs by now are likely broken/resheduled).

    You mean putting a CLB in front of it? I've looked into VPN and VPC-peering, the EFS does not work over them, but putting an CLB in front of it never crossed my mind.

    P.S EFS does not have backups without having to do huge shenanigans with data pipeline.

  • By now it's becoming ridunkulous - ELB affected, Cloudformation affected, EB, Autoscaling groups... funny.

    You know who isn't down?

    LowEndTalk.

    Amazon, if you need some help figuring out how to host stuff, just open a thread in the Help section. But don't ask for the provider tag.

    It gets brain fart cluster split at times though, and annoying CF "NO BRO YOU CAN'T POST DAT HERE" windows ;)

  • Doesn't it says resolved here? https://status.aws.amazon.com/ I'm still not able to use the SES.

    The status page indicates that only some services are back to operating properly. Other services such as SES are still encountering some problems.

  • I still remember when Google had hiccups.
    Did Azure ever fail like this before?

    We are not down, we're just experiencing an increased error rate.

    S3's resolved but SES isn't:

    Maybe they already lost their millions and don't have any more to lose?

    Well, that's just the kick I needed to move to Backblaze. It's cheaper too.

    Yeah! Come to Backblaze!

  • sanvit said: Yeah! Come to Backblaze!

    Did Backblaze ever get its xfer speed above pathetic? It was originally a backup system but at least at first, was nowhere near fast enough to be a general purpose object store.

    Getting around 400KB/s download speed. Not bad for it's price =)

    You mean the BB block storage thing? Its pricing wasn't that great, compared to a run of the mill LEB storage plan. That was hard to understand.
