The LMS is currently unavailable due to the AWS issue.

The LMS was affected by the AWS outage today, so you may not be able to log in to the program.


From Docebo's website:

Our upstream provider, AWS, is currently experiencing an outage affecting multiple services in all the regions, which is causing a broader impact on Docebo's system — specifically on intra-service authentication.

Customers located in US East 1 are experiencing long load times or errors when attempting to access or navigate their sites due to ongoing issues with AWS recovery. We are actively reviewing our possible mitigation paths and will update when additional information is available.  

We'll update you if we hear anything.
