Saw workers saying everything has been down in the fulfillment centers for an hour. I can't login to my account. Also AWS is down so people are being logged out of games and services.

DynamoDB in US-EAST-1 had a DNS issue

We have identified a potential root cause for error rates for the DynamoDB APIs in the US-EAST-1 Region. Based on our investigation, the issue appears to be related to DNS resolution of the DynamoDB API endpoint in US-EAST-1. We are working on multiple parallel paths to accelerate recovery. This issue also affects other AWS Services in the US-EAST-1 Region. Global services or features that rely on US-EAST-1 endpoints such as IAM updates and DynamoDB Global tables may also be experiencing issues. During this time, customers may be unable to create or update Support Cases. We recommend customers continue to retry any failed requests. We will continue to provide updates as we have more information to share, or by 2:45 AM.

So it's a critical global system and has been down for 8 hours, this is surely a good sign

I wouldn't call it a sign of anything. DNS fixes take a long time to propagate and every service will have some sort of failure at some point. The lesson to be learned from this is: a. AWS goes down sometimes, and if your service is critical you need to have a backup plan, and B. Too many services rely on us-east-1 without having a fallback.
