  20. https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/ [A developer] executed a command which was intended to

    remove a small number of servers for one of the S3 subsystems that is used by the S3 billing process.

  21. https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/ [O]ne of the inputs to the command was entered

    incorrectly and a larger set of servers was removed than intended.

  22. https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/ This broke the index subsystem. This subsystem is necessary

    to serve all GET, LIST, PUT, and DELETE requests

  23. https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/ While S3 was down, the S3 console, Amazon Elastic

    Compute Cloud (EC2) new instance launches, Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes (when data was needed from a S3 snapshot), and AWS Lambda were unavailable.
