Is there a public API I can poll for server/region degradations?

Question

I've found https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/health/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html

I'm trying to scan regions/instance/servers types for degradations from a public API. Is this possible?

I'm looking for something that'll tell me when there's hints at region network issues, servers are being slow to respond or anything that'll count as a degradation.

Answer

Edit: Directly to your question, The right place to get this information is via the AWS Health API which does require authentication in your account.

The type of event your are looking for is of the category "issue" which covers ongoing (or recent) service events.

You can use the command
```
aws health describe-events --filter eventTypeCategories=issue
```
