Erick Schonfeld over at Techcrunch reports a problem with Amazon Web Services. Early this morning, pacific time, developers began reporting issues with the services. Approximately an hour and a half later, the issue appears resolved.

While failures happen, and this one happened overnight, just remember there is no such thing as an overnight in a 24x7 round-the-clock, round-the-globe world. Outages of any sort-scheduled or otherwise-are increasingly not tolerated. Reliability (and price) are the keys to success going forward for Amazon and other companies providing web services.
