🌐 Major Outage Alert! 🌐
Having trouble with your apps this morning? You’re not alone! A significant outage linked to Amazon Web Services (AWS) is causing chaos online, affecting a plethora of popular platforms since around 8am today.
Snapchat, Apple services, Reddit, and more are experiencing issues, leaving millions in the UK without access. Users are flooding DownDetector with reports, and the list of affected sites keeps growing.
AWS has reported “increased error rates” and delays affecting a wide range of their services. DownDetector has highlighted issues specifically from the US-East-1 region. Multiple companies, from Snapchat to Canva, have taken to social media to update frustrated users. Roblox cheekily tweeted “#RobloxDown”, and Canva reassured users they’re on it with updates available at canvastatus.com.
AWS has yet to comment, but many trying to reach them are greeted by a “service page is currently unavailable.” Here’s a glimpse of some platforms impacted:
– Snapchat
– Apple Store & Music
– Fortnite
– Roblox
– Duolingo
– and many more!
AWS is a key player in cloud computing, providing critical infrastructure for businesses, so this disruption has a widespread impact. Many rely on AWS to deliver flexible, cost-effective IT resources without needing their own servers.
