Frequently Asked Questions
Check the AWS Service Health Dashboard for real-time updates on AWS services and infrastructure status.
AWS performance can be impacted by regional availability, infrastructure maintenance, network conditions, or resource utilization.
Verify network configuration, check security groups, review IAM permissions, or examine CloudWatch metrics.
Access AWS Documentation, Support Center, or contact AWS technical support through the AWS Console.
AWS schedules maintenance during predefined maintenance windows with advance notifications to customers.
Instance unresponsiveness may be caused by network issues, operating system problems, or resource exhaustion. Check the instance's status in the console, review logs for errors, or restart the instance.
High latency can result from network congestion, regional capacity issues, or configuration problems. Check your network configuration, review CloudWatch metrics, or consider deploying to a different region closer to your users.
Resource access errors often stem from incorrect permissions, network security group restrictions, or temporary service disruptions. Verify your IAM roles and policies, review NSG rules, or check the AWS status dashboard for any service alerts.
About AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a comprehensive cloud computing platform providing on-demand computing power, database storage, content delivery, and other functionality to help businesses scale and grow. Organizations ranging from small startups to large enterprises use AWS to host websites, run applications, store data, process analytics, and deliver content worldwide through a global network of data centers.
Businesses leverage AWS for infrastructure (EC2 instances, S3 storage), platform services (Lambda, ECS), and specialized solutions like machine learning (SageMaker) and IoT. Individual developers use AWS to build and test applications, while enterprise teams deploy mission-critical workloads that serve millions of users. Government agencies and educational institutions also rely on AWS for secure, scalable infrastructure.
Users may encounter various types of service disruptions with AWS, including regional outages affecting specific geographical areas, performance degradation of individual services, API throttling during high-demand periods, or connectivity issues between AWS services. Organizations might experience delays in data processing, temporary unavailability of hosted applications, or inconsistencies in database operations. AWS's modular architecture means that issues are typically isolated to specific services or regions rather than affecting the entire platform.
