Andru , from about 1200 to 2:15 I couldn’t get several sites to load right either. This one included, keep getting server not recognized. I thought it was all the action this site is seeing.

Its working perfectly fine for me.
I confirmed on the nytimes ,it was down for some time,but fortunately the Amazon’s S3 was ok,if that were to be affected seriously ,them more mayhem would have ensued.

The site is working fine for me now. I was having some problems earlier—trying to buy an armband for my Zune for when I work out—but I just decided to wait, so no worries Amazon you didnt lose my sale!

Whoa, that is a lot of money for a single minute. Holy cow, that is a crazy statistic. What makes them lose so much? Is it because people go somewhere else to buy the product or is it because people are constantly on Amazon buying and buying stuff?

Wow they are gonna lose out on some money.

Ugh, when one of the ‘big’ boys goes down, get ready for heads to roll in IT. Wonder if they pushed out something new and didn’t test it in the lab fully or if their provider dropped the ball.

so i guess no one has found out why it happened yet?
i dont think that datacenter fire is effecting any sites now right?

Wow. 31000 a minute! Now thats a lot of bank.
I hope they can get back into the black. I’m sure they’ll be fine.

Wow, $31,000 a minute! Imagine if Amazon’s host screwed up and restored an old backup and reversed everything on there. Just like the host that did that to GearLive. That would really impact a lot of people and Amazon would loose a lot of credibility. But being a big business Amazon must have a lot of reliable servers and have very experienced and expert employees maintaining their server. Besides Amazon, I like to purchase electronic products from Buy.com too.

Man, as you can see every website can go down. There is no 100% uptime. Ofcourse websites like amazon have huge datacenters and replicated over seevral server farms, just in case this happens.

@(the 2nd person who replied to this topic, I can’t see his name, looks like a bug), anyway, as you said, yesterday night, gear live was verrrrrry slow and also many other website. It sounds that Amazon wasn’t only down, there was many websites.
Most likely the internet was doomed at this time :D !
