About AWS EC2

Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is AWS's core virtual machine service, providing resizable compute instances across 30+ global regions — from burstable t4g types to GPU-accelerated p4 instances. Enterprises and developers run web servers, application backends, batch jobs, and containerized workloads on EC2. EC2 degradation in a single region can take applications and APIs offline for users in that geography. Track live Amazon EC2 status per region, view per-region component health, and monitor EC2 incident history here.

FAQ

Is AWS EC2 down right now?

PulsAPI checks AWS EC2 status continuously. The current status is shown at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds from the official AWS EC2 status page.

What should I do if my system is impacted by a AWS EC2 outage?

If AWS EC2 is down, report the issue above to inform the community, check the incident timeline for resolution updates from the AWS EC2 team, and activate any graceful degradation your application supports while waiting for recovery.

How do I check AWS EC2 uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks AWS EC2 uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The 30-day uptime metric is shown in the sidebar on this page. Sign up for a free account to access the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline.

How fast does PulsAPI detect AWS EC2 outages?

PulsAPI polls the AWS EC2 official status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection — faster than most engineers check manually.

Can I get alerts when AWS EC2 goes down?

Yes. Sign up for PulsAPI and subscribe to AWS EC2. You'll receive instant alerts via email (free), or Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks on paid plans — whenever AWS EC2 status changes.

How do I report a AWS EC2 issue to the community?

Click the "Report an issue" button at the top of this page. Select the issue type, severity, and optionally your region and a note. Community reports are anonymous and help other engineers detect outages before the official status page updates — which typically lags real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Does PulsAPI track individual AWS EC2 components?

Yes, where AWS EC2 exposes component data. The components section above shows each tracked AWS EC2 component and its current status. Component-level granularity lets you pinpoint exactly which part of AWS EC2 is affected — not just a generic "service degraded" banner.

Is there a free way to monitor AWS EC2?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts and a 15-day free trial — no credit card required. You can monitor AWS EC2 alongside up to 9 other services for free. Sign up at pulsapi.com/signup to get started.
