I'm somewhat in the same situation. I want to check-in a movie I just watched and give it appropriate rating, but IMDB is down. I guess we'll just have wait, right?

Any knowledge or evidence that IMDB runs on AWS, and that the two are thus correlated?

For starters, Amazon owns IMDb.

Well, Amazon owns IMDB, so it's probably a reasonable assumption.

Quick lookup says yes, # host imdb.com imdb.com has address 207.171.166.22 imdb.com has address 72.21.210.29 imdb.com has address 72.21.206.80 # host 207.171.166.22 22.166.171.207.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 166-22.amazon.com.
