Amazon Web Services (AWS) is down for tens of thousands of users worldwide as of Thursday morning, marking the second time in a week the online service has crashed.
The Amazon-owned platform began experiencing problems around 10:24am ET, with users citing the website, hosting and server connection as all having issues.
Only a few countries, including the US, China the UK and India, have reported problems, which is far less of an impact that last week’s outage had.
On December 9, Amazon Web Services went down for seven hours and took several other websites with it that use the company’s cloud servers.
However, DownDetector, which monitors online outages, shows Doordash, Netflix, Hulu and Twitch are experiences problems – and they all use Amazon Web Services to host their websites.
Amazon Web Services is down for thousands of users worldwide as of Thursday morning, marking the second time in a week the online service has crashed.
AWS’ service health dashboards show internet connectivity issues in northern California and Oregon, but DownDetector’s outage map highlights New York City and Boston as also experiencing problems.
A message on the status page reads: ‘We are investigating Internet connectivity issues to the US-WEST-1 and US-WEST-2 Region.’
AWS provides cloud computing services to individuals, universities, governments and companies around the world such as servers, storage, networking, remote computing, email, mobile development and security.
When AWS goes down, so does other websites that use its services, which is a an embarrassing blow to the Amazon-owned platform – these companies, universities, individuals and governments pay to use the services.
