## Timeline of updates

- **identified** 2023-06-13 21:20 UTC: Several AWS services are experiencing issues.  Because of this, Firebolt engines are not able to Start.  Also, engines that are Stopped will be in Stopping status for a period of time, and then report Failed Stopping.  They are effectively stopped and no longer running. We are monitoring updates from AWS.
- **resolved** 2023-06-13 21:37 UTC: AWS has announced all services are restored, although there is a backlog of requests in their services.  We are seeing engines start and stop succesfully, although it may take longer than usual for a few hours.
