Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Request Limit Exceeded

We are using Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosting our little project Friended.com. Today, we are down for quite some time. I will be able to know how long the outage took place once Friended.com is back online again, thanks to Pingdom monitoring service. As of this time 5:41pm EST AWS Service Health Dashboard (http://status.aws.amazon.com/) status for North Virginia delays or not accessible.

Cloud service suppose to give businesses a dependable service, 24x7 accesssibility, scalability and uptime 99.95%. Not at this time. Remember what happened to GoDaddy's hosting service last September 10, 2012 millions of businesses (their websites) are down due to their router data table problem. And last October 19, 2012 that took down portion of its customer emails.

Just remember, Cloud Computing Technology still a machine, a pool of servers that managed by human. Hopefully Friended.com will be back online shortly.

Update: Pingdom Alert: Friended.com is UP again at 10/22/12/ 06:04:30PM, after 4h 19m of downtime.
