## Updates from TaxJar
### 2021-04-13 20:15 UTC: investigating
We're investigating sporadic errors for some internal services.

### 2021-04-13 20:27 UTC: identified
Amazon (AWS) is experiencing issues with EC2 & Elastic Load Balancing that is affecting our services. 
"We are working to resolve the issue resulting in increased error rates for the following EC2 APIs in the US-EAST-1 Region: RunInstances, \*SecurityGroups, \*NetworkInterfaces, \*RouteTables, \*AccountAttributes, and \*NetworkAcls. These APIs will affect the ability to launch new EC2 instances and make mutating changes to Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network configuration(s). Existing instances and networks continue to work normally. We have identified the root cause and are working towards resolution."
See https://status.aws.amazon.com/ for more details.
