Is Amazon WorkSpaces down?
Current Amazon WorkSpaces status is UP

We have a high degree of confidence that our current mitigation efforts will be successful, however it will take a short time to complete. As the mitigation proceeds, we expect to see incremental recovery until we are fully recovered. We will provide you with a further update by 12:45 PM PDT.

The issue is also affecting services that depend on EC2 such as EKS, ECS and Workspaces. Instances that are already launched continue to operate normally.

EKS Managed Node Group create and update operations are failing intermittently. Customers can create a new Managed Node Group by specifying subnets in the unaffected Availability Zones.

We are experiencing elevated API error rates in a single Availability Zone (usgw1-az1) in the US-GOV-WEST-1 Region. Instances currently running are unaffected, however, API calls to create, modify or terminate the instances in the affected Availability Zone are not working. APIs calls directed to launch instances targeting the non-impacted Availability Zones are working. We have identified the root cause and are working to mitigate the issue.

We continue to work on resolving the error rates and increased delays in network propagation for newly launched EC2 instances in a single Availability Zone (use1-az2) in US-EAST-1 Region. We are also seeing an increase in error rates and latencies for new instance launches in another Availability Zone (use1-az1), which is unrelated and is an issue with creating new EBS volumes during the instance launch. We are also working to resolve that issue, but impact remains lower and unrelated to the network mapping propagation issue. On the network mapping propagation issue in the use1-az2 Availability Zone, we are in the process of deploying an update to address the slow recovery in the remaining cells.

We continue to work towards resolving the increased networking latencies and errors affecting Availability Zones (usw2-az1 and usw2-az2) in the US-WEST-2 Region. We have now seen network mapping propagation latencies return to normal levels in usw2-az2. At this stage, all EC2 instance launches and network configuration changes in usw2-az2 are operating normally. We have seen strong recovery in usw2-az1 as well and will provide an update when network propagation latencies have returned to normal levels there as well.

We continue to progress toward resolving the increased networking latencies and errors affecting Availability Zones (usw2-az1 and usw2-az2) in the US-WEST-2 Region. At this time, we are approximately 50% completed with the update to address resource contention within the subsystem responsible for network mappings propagation in the usw2-az2 Availability Zone. Once we complete the update in usw2-az2, we will then move on to usw2-az1. Our current expectation is to have both Availability Zones fully resolved within the next 60 to 90 minutes, and we will continue to provide updates as recovery progresses.
