AWS, or Amazon Web Services, is a cloud computing platform that provides on-demand infrastructure and managed services for building, deploying, and operating software. It is used by developers, operations teams, and enterprises to run applications, store data, and manage networking and security. Its main product surfaces are web-based consoles, APIs, and command-line tools across a large catalog of cloud services.
CheckUpstream does not yet run an independent probe against AWS, so no availability figure is published for it — only AWS's own disclosure record below. 6 incidents were recorded in the past 12 months; the most recent resolved 183 days ago after 174 days. Status signals are polled from AWS's official status feed, alongside independent probes and community reports. AWS publishes 8 product-level SLA uptime commitments (up to 99.999%), and service credits must be claimed within 60 days of a breach.
Independent measurement how this is computed
Not measured
We run no independent probe against AWS yet, so we publish no availability figure for it. What follows is AWS's own disclosure record, which is a different thing.
AWS posted no incidents in this window. That is either a clean run or a communication policy — from outside, the two look identical.
Fewer incidents in the last 30 days than 44% of 232 tracked services.

Does AWS actually matter to you?
A AWS outage only matters if something you ship depends on it. Point us at a public repository and we will read its dependencies and tell you — no account, nothing stored.

All of these are CheckUpstream's own probes. Nobody else has reported AWS in this window, so nothing here is corroboration.

AWS is currently Partial Outage. CheckUpstream tracks AWS in real-time across the official status page, RSS / Atom feeds, and community telemetry. Refresh this page for the latest reading.

AWS's last resolved incident started 183 days ago and lasted 174d 4h (a partial outage).
We don't publish one. CheckUpstream runs no independent probe against AWS yet, and the only other figure available would be derived from AWS's own incident posts — which measures how much a vendor discloses rather than how available it was. Vendors that post often score worse than vendors that stay quiet, so the number would be backwards.
Sign up to CheckUpstream and add AWS to a watchlist. We send incident alerts via Slack, email, webhook, or PagerDuty within seconds of detection, covering both the official status page and community signals (HN, Reddit, Bluesky, Cloudflare Radar).

Its main product surfaces are web-based consoles, APIs, and command-line tools across a large catalog of cloud services.
We poll AWS's official status page on a 1-5 minute cadence, parse its RSS / Atom feed as a fallback, ingest community signals from social platforms, and aggregate per-org SDK telemetry. Multiple sources reduce false positives versus any single feed alone.
