AWS DNS Issues?
Anyone seeing name resolution issues in AWS? Some internal monitors started failing about an hour ago with name resolution issues. Quad9 is returning SERVFAIL for status.aws.amazon.com
We previously advised you of important security and operational updates which will require a reboot of one or more of your Amazon EC2 instances in the US-EAST-1 region. Unfortunately, we must accelerate the planned reboot times for these instances given anticipated publication of new research findings.
The new maintenance window has been scheduled between January 4, 2018 at 8:00 AM UTC (12:00AM PST) and January 4, 2018 at 2:00 PM UTC (6:00AM PST) during which the EC2 service will automatically perform the required reboot. During the maintenance window, the affected instance will be unavailable for a short period of time as it reboots. We will be performing this maintenance in a single Availability Zone of each Region at a time. For more information on EC2 maintenance, please see our documentation here: https://aws.amazon.com/maintenance-help/ .
To avoid your scheduled reboot, you are able to reboot this instance any time prior to the maintenance window. More details on rebooting your instances yourself can be found here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-reboot.html
To see which of your instances are impacted, please visit the 'Events' page on the EC2 console to view your instances that are scheduled for maintenance:

8:10 AM PDT Some customers have reported intermittent resolution issues with .io domains. We can confirm that Route 53 DNS services are operating normally at this time and these issues seem to be related to the .io top-level domain provider.
8:43 AM PDT We can confirm that resolution of .io domain names are intermittently failing due to issues with the .io TLD name servers that are hosted external to AWS. Route 53 name servers continue to operate normally, but customers who have sub-domains of .io hosted on Route 53 may experience issues until the .io TLD name servers hosted externally are resolved.
Anyone have any other info?
