AWS Status FAQ

Is AWS down right now?

PulsAPI checks AWS every 60 seconds. 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.

What should I do if AWS is not working?

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.

How do I check AWS uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks AWS uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 95.35%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for AWS.

How fast does PulsAPI detect AWS outages?

PulsAPI polls the official AWS status page every 60 seconds and usually delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds after detection. That is often faster than someone on your team notices on their own.

Which AWS regions does PulsAPI monitor for AWS?

PulsAPI monitors AWS health separately across 6086 AWS regions. 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.

Is AWS down in a specific AWS region?

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.

Can I get alerts when AWS goes down?

Yes. Create a PulsAPI account and subscribe to AWS. Email alerts are included on the free Starter plan. Paid plans add Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks whenever AWS status changes.

How do I report an issue with AWS to the community?

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.

Is there a free way to monitor AWS?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 25 monitored services with Slack and email alerts, and the 30-day free trial requires no credit card. You can monitor AWS alongside up to 24 other services at pulsapi.com/signup.
