Takes minutes to update a CloudFront distribution (they say around 5 minutes in their blog post from last year when speed was improved [1]). I think they might want to be able to change it to "everything's back to normal" in an instant, based on the SLA argument I've seen thrown around last time an AWS region was down.

It's minutes to update the distribution settings, but that doesn't have to be the case for the content itself. A much lower cache time can be used.

The status page is working great for me. Did they make it multi-region after the last failure? I'm on the east coast.

Central EU here, appears to be down.

Northern EU, down as well. AWS Management Console in eu-west-1 opens up just fine though.

Edit: Hitting refresh a bunch finally got it open.

Western EU here, appears to be up for me. Maybe a peering issue?

It's back up for me, too, right now. Rather slow, though, and traceroute shows 25 hops. So it might really be peering.

Works for me. It's the usual static page with everything green.

Maybe it is just a static website. Do they even have CSS for red? :D

Not working for me either in the UK.

Down for me, as well.
