Service is operating normally: [RESOLVED] Elevated Packet Loss

AWS·Jul 31, 2026

Between 9:42 AM and 11:44 AM PDT, we experienced elevated network packet loss impacting AWS Direct Connect connectivity in the AP-SOUTH-1 Region. Our engineering team was automatically engaged at 9:46 AM to begin investigating. By 10:51 AM, we understood the root cause to be a configuration change made to a system responsible for assigning routes to devices. As we gained confidence in our mitigation steps, we parallelized our efforts to further reduce the packet loss. The issue is resolved and t

Service impact: Elevated Packet Loss

AWS·Jul 31, 2026

We have identified the root cause to be related to a change made to a configuration system responsible for assigning routes to the devices. We have begun the work to reduce the packet loss that is impacting AWS Direct Connect in the AP-SOUTH-1 Region, and we expect recovery to take place gradually over the next 30 minutes. As we gain confidence in these efforts, we will seek to parallelize our efforts to speed recovery. We will provide another update by 12:00 PM PDT.

Service impact: Connectivity Issues

AWS·Jul 24, 2026

We continue to see significant signs of recovery as a result of our mitigation efforts for the connectivity issues impacting multiple AWS services in the US-WEST-2 Region. We have identified the root cause as an issue with a networking device responsible for network routing from the Region to the Seattle Metro. Engineers have finished all mitigation work. As routes continue to be restored, customers should see a continued reduction in error rates and timeouts when connecting to affected services
