[outages] AWS east is reporting an outage, seems to be affecting IAM globally

[Chris Dickens]

Oh, what a coincidence!  Earlier I tried asking Alexa to manipulate several
smart home devices and she mismatched the devices completely.  My voice was
clear and uninterrupted.  I thought maybe my speaker was the issue and moved
on with my day -- as noted by Ben, I could manipulate the devices by app no
problem.  After hearing this, it seems something odd may be awry.

I'm running into issues controlling devices via Alexa now. Unable to
manipulate some smart home devices (Amazon smart plugs, TP-Link smart plugs,
Philips Hue lighting, etc.) The TP-Link plugs and Hue lights can still be
manipulated via their own apps, just not Alexa or the Alexa app.

I'm sure it's probably related.
