This affected Heroku, Reddit, Foursquare, Quora and many more well-known internet services hosted on EC2. The cause of the outage appears to have been a case of so-called 'auto-immune disease'. Amazon's automated processes began remirroring a large number of EBS volumes, which had a knock on effect of significantly degrading EBS (and thus RDS) performance and availability across multiple availability zones.
