Global AWS outage disrupts major websites and streaming services

AWS outage news

A major outage at Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Monday caused widespread disruptions across the globe, impacting major platforms such as Amazon, Prime Video, Alexa, Signal, Robinhood, Coinbase, Lyft, and numerous gaming sites including Fortnite, Roblox, and Clash of Clans.

AWS confirmed increased error rates in its US-EAST-1 region and later identified a potential root cause.

The outage also affected services in New Zealand, with Downdetector.co.nz reporting problems for AWS, Spark, TVNZ, Facebook, Snapchat, and Zoom among others. Sky New Zealand said the outage affected its On Demand viewing for Sky Box, Sky Go, and Neon customers, linking the issue directly to the global AWS disruption.

      • Every computer, iPhone, & tablet user needs to read the link!
        Also, get a Mil-Spec router, such as the TP Link routers that dis-allow pinging, and block interrogatories from malicious software and third party binary tunnels.
        Use Proton VPN that allows for the routing of your searches, e-mails, etc via European Servers.
        Then, add CCleaner or Bleachbit. (Note- Bleachbit was getting blocked, but CCleaner going via the router outbound works fine…)
        ALWAYS use EU servers (via Startpage in the ‘Settings’ feature) as privacy laws are different in Europe, and always use encrypted Protonmail.

  1. We wondered what we had done to our ring cameras for about an hour – curses curses!
