[Increased Error Rate and Latency] Service impact: Increased Error Rate and Latency
We continue to make progress in resolving the impaired EC2 instances in the affected Availability Zone (use1-az4) in the US-EAST-1 Region, and are working towards full recovery. We are actively working to bring additional cooling system capacity online, which will enable us to recover the remaining affected racks in a controlled and safe manner. In the impacted Availability Zone, EC2 Instances, EBS Volumes, and other AWS Services may continue to experience elevated error rates and latencies for some workflows. Customers will continue to see some of their affected EC2 instances and EBS volumes as impaired until we achieve full recovery. We will provide an update by May 8, 1:30 AM PDT, or sooner if we have additional information to share.
