AWS Regional outage in Virgina is being investigated.

[2021-12-07 15:45 UTC] The underlying Virginia region is returning API errors for many services. We are working with AWS to understand the issues, impacts, and recovery timeline.

[2021-12-07 22:35 UTC] The underlying Virginia region is returning to normal. There was no outage of the VoltMX runtime services, but custom code that directly invoked AWS APIs from customer written services may have failed. The ability for customers to deploy updates was impacted as this activty requires API calls to some of the impacted AWS services.

[2021-12-07 23:03 UTC] Resolved. The issues that resulted from the network failure have been addressed, services are restored, and the serivce backlog has recovered.
