Identified
Amazon believes they will have improved the situation within another hour, according to the AWS status page.
Due to ongoing issues in Amazon's S3 system, Galaxy operations that need to read to or write from S3 may fail now. This includes deploying new app versions and starting new containers. Existing containers are unlikely to be affected. We are investigating whether this affects our EU cluster or just our US cluster.
