I can't log in to my AWS account, in Germany, on top of that it is not possible to order anything or change payment options from amazon.de.

No landing page explaining services are down, just scary error pages. I thought account was compromised. Thanks HN for, as always, being the first to clarify what's happening.

Scary to see that in order to order from Amazon Germany, us-east1 must be up. Everything else works flawlessly but payments are a no go.

I wanted to log into my Audible account after a long time on my phone, I couldn't, started getting annoyed, maybe my password is not saved correctly, maybe my account was banned, ... Then checking desktop, still errors, checking my Amazon.de, no profile info... That's when I started suspecting that it's not me, it's you, Amazon! Anyway, I guess, I'll listen to my book in a couple of hours, hopefully.

Btw, most parts of the amazon.de is working fine, but I can't load profiles, and can't login.

You might be interested in Libation [0]. I use it to de-DRM my Audible library and generate a cue sheet with chapters in for offline listening.

We use IAM Identity Center (née SSO) which is hosted in the eu-central-1 region, and I can log in just fine. Its admin pages are down, though. Ditto for IAM.

Other things seem to be working fine.

I just ordered stuff from Amazon.de. And I highly any Amazon site can go down because of one region. Just like Netflix are rarely affected.

I can’t even login, I get the internal error treatment. This is on Amazon.de

I'm on Amazon.de and I literally ordered stuff seconds before posting the comment. They took the money and everything. The order is in my order history list.
