   monitoring
   From 21:55 UTC we have been seeing a 2% rate of connection errors in the eu-west-1 region, which looks similar to the loadbalancer issue last week. We are routing new traffic away from that region towards other regions (which will mostly land at eu-central-1, the next nearest region).

   resolved
   Traffic is once again flowing to the region as normal, we are continuing to monitor.
