Potentially-ignoramus comment here, apologies in advance, but amazon.com itself appears to be fine right now. Perhaps slower to load pages, by about half a second. Are they not eating (much of) their own dog food?
It seems like the outage is only effecting one region so AWS is likely falling back to others. I’m sure parts of the site are down but the main sites are resilient
`us-east-1` is unfortunately special in some ways but not in ways that should affect well-designed serving systems in other regions.
