RDS & S3 is down for me right now in US-East region and apparently some parts of Frankfurt are also down.

    DDos against amazon's DNS servers. One mitigation is to use regional endpoints for bucket hosting if your website relies on serving assets - i e foo-bucket.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com instead foo-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com

    We manually updated our `/etc/hosts` file with the static ip for our S3 bucket(s) and that fixed the issue temporarily.

    Glad to hear the issue is on Amazon's side. Our team panicked and tried to find every way to resolve this thinking it was possibly a misconfiguration at our end. I hope it's resolved soon. We're receiving complains from many users who are unable to upload their work due to this issue, I will let them know Amazon is on it.

    Intermittent DNS Resolution Errors

    We are investigating reports of occasional DNS resolution errors with Route 53 and our external DNS providers. We are actively working towards resolution.

    Seeing major issues here as well. All my modules were not working for the majority of the day and all images were not displaying. This is no doubt a Ddoss attack, I just don't see any other reason that the entire east coast AWS DNS servers would just stop responding all of a sudden. If the issue is not fixed by tomorrow our IT guy is gonna have a damn field day implementing all the temporary mitigation's.

    DNS resolution to AWS S3 and RDS is still buggy on other providers (DigitalOcean, etc as well)
