[Increased Error Rate and Latency] Service impact: Increased Error Rate and Latency

We continue working to resolve the impaired EC2 instances and degraded EBS volumes in a single Availability Zone (use1-az4) in the US-EAST-1 Region caused by a thermal event. During such an event, servers automatically shut down when the temperatures exceeded the operating thresholds in order to protect the hardware. We are actively working to bring additional cooling system capacity online, which will enable us to recover the remaining affected hardware in the impacted zone. Some customers will continue to see their affected EC2 instances and EBS volumes as impaired until we achieve full recovery. If immediate recovery is required, we recommend customers restore from EBS snapshots and/or replace affected resources by launching new replacement resources in one of the unaffected zones. In parallel, we are investigating increased error rates and query failures for Redshift clusters in the US-EAST-1 Region. During this time, affected customers may see errors for resume and restart workflows, as well as failover operations and availability issues. Our engineers are actively working to resolve this issue. Full recovery is still expected to take several hours. We are prioritizing this issue and will provide another update by 9:00 AM PST or sooner if additional information becomes available.
