Resolved
AWS has resolved their status and our metrics show that EC2 APIs are fully functional. We will re-enable creates in the us-east-1 region shortly.
Monitoring
We are continuing to monitor the AWS status page. Our internal metrics have indicated a subsiding error rate, and we will continue to evaluate when we can begin offering new databases in the AWS us-east-1 region.
Investigating
AWS is currently experiencing an increased error rate in their EC2 APIs in the us-east-1 region. As a precautionary measure, we have disabled creation of new databases in that region until the incident is completed. Existing database connectivity should not be impacted, nor should creates in other AWS or GCP regions.
