Impacts my employer's products as well. What's most frustrating is when I have clients who know there's a global AWS outage and that this is the root cause, because it's knocked out like four or five of services on their side as well...yet they still feel the need to ping us for updates every twenty minutes.

Like, dude, we're both watching the same status page. What the **** do you think I can do about it?

DNS and IAM. The Amazon AWS in Europe is using those.

Can be DNS or BGP to cause such.

DNS or BGP outage?
