Is AWS Down?

The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official AWS status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead.

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until AWS recovers.

PulsAPI tracks AWS uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 95.38%. The 90-day uptime strip on this page is public: no account needed. A free account adds alerts whenever AWS changes state, plus 15 days of incident detail; Pro extends that to 90 days and Business to 13 months.

PulsAPI reads the official AWS status page. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead. Alerts reach Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email within seconds of detection.

PulsAPI monitors AWS health separately across 37 AWS regions, tracking 6124 components in total, one per service per region. The region table on this page shows live status for each one (Operational, Degraded, or Major Outage), so you can tell whether the problem is isolated to us-east-1 or wider.

Scroll to the region table on this page. Each row shows the current status for one AWS region (for example us-east-1, eu-west-1, or ap-southeast-1). A Degraded or Major Outage row means a regional AWS issue, not necessarily a global one. Subscribe on PulsAPI to get an alert when any AWS region changes status.

Yes. Create a free account and subscribe to AWS: the free plan covers three services with unlimited email alerts and no monthly notification cap. Paid plans lift the monitor limit entirely (Pro and above do not meter how many vendors you watch) and route the same alerts into Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks.

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot AWS problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Yes. The free plan covers 3 monitored services with unlimited email alerts, permanently, so AWS plus two more costs nothing. Every new account also opens with a 30-day Business trial (unlimited monitors, Slack alerts, SLA reporting) with no credit card.
