"Degraded performance," is a fairly off-handed way of putting what they're experiencing. First RDS connectivity went down the tube, and then EBS followed, finally the EC2 console is failing to operate properly (for me, in US-EAST region at least).
Of course, as soon as I read the report that the issue was confined to one AZ, I looked to move my server over to another AZ. Oh yes, two were full and refused new instances, and then surprisingly, new requests for the other AZs never were received or operated on - and now the console is failing. It's a bit more than just "slow EBS" if that's what you were thinking.
- edit: said ec2 twice in the second sentence, corrected to say ebs.
