Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service is back online after a brief outage earlier this morning that affected customers in its US-East region. ”Between 2:22 AM and 2:43 AM PST internet connectivity was impaired in the US-EAST-1 region,” Amazon reported. “Full connectivity has been restored. The service is operating normally.” The incident also impacted DNS resolution for Amazon Virtual P{rivate Cloud customers. For more, see the
