  telnet amazon.com 80
  Trying 205.251.242.54...
  Connected to amazon.com.

Interestingly the AWS Dashboard is also down. However, it at least comes up with an error message saying 500 Service Unavailable, whereas amazon.com itself just never responds.

Are AWS nodes/services themselves down, or just the Amazon web interface?

Same, can't get to the console or any other service. Our instances do appear to be responding however, so they aren't completely down.

The status page says that AWS is OK:

Down for me since about 2:50PM EST - was working with Amazon Affiliates API so I noticed immediately when it wasn't responding.

It appears that AWS SES is down right now as well.
