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

We continue our efforts to work towards the recovery of the impaired EC2 instances and degraded EBS volumes in a single Availability Zone (use1-az4) in the US-EAST-1 Region. We are making progress towards the restoration of the cooling system capacity that is required to recover the affected hardware in the impacted zone. Some customers will continue to see their affected EC2 instances and EBS volumes as impaired until the affected racks are recovered. We continue to recommend that customers who require immediate recovery restore from EBS snapshots and/or replace affected resources by launching new replacement resources in one of the unaffected zones. As part of our parallel investigation, we have identified the root cause of the increased error rates and query failures for Redshift clusters in the US-EAST-1 Region. This has been confirmed to be related to impact from an upstream dependency. Affected customers may continue to see errors for resume and restart workflows, failover operations, and impact to general availability. We are actively working to resolve the issue. Our timeline for full recovery is still expected to take several hours and will be incremental as we bring racks online in phases. We will provide an additional update by 12:30 PM or sooner if we have new information to provide.
