Users of AWS’s London-hosted T2 Micro Instances suffered capacity issues on Friday 24 March.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) ran into technical difficulties on Friday 24 March, as the cloud giant seemingly struggled to keep up with the demand for London-hosted versions of its T2 Micro Instances.
Users attempting to use the service on Friday received error messages telling them the EU-West-2a availability zone in London had insufficient capacity to fulfil their orders.
Computer Weekly understands the error message began appearing for the first time on Friday for users, with several querying whether or not it means AWS is running too close to full capacity in one of its two London-based availability zones.
This hypothesis has been put forward by users who claim manually shifting their workloads from the affected availability zone to an alternative one had provided them with a temporary workaround.
