AWS outage: Company says more issues are happening

Amazon Web Services says the issues that caused a mass outage have been “fully mitigated.”

Update 11:09 a.m. ET, Oct. 20: Hours after Amazon said that issues affecting AWS were “fully mitigated” users were once again reporting problems with websites.

Amazon said service was “degraded” late Monday morning.

“We continue to investigate the root cause for the network connectivity issues that are impacting AWS services such as DynamoDB, SQS, and Amazon Connect in the US-EAST-1 Region. We have identified that the issue originated from within the EC2 internal network. We continue to investigate and identify mitigations,” the company posted on the AWS Health website.

Users shared to CNN that they had issues ranging from smart plugs failing to work while Slack and Zoom failed for some.

Original report: While AWS said that all services should be back up and running, “some requests may be throttled” while they continue to work on resolving the problems, CNN reported.

“The underlying DNS issue has been fully mitigated, and most AWS Service operations are succeeding normally now,” the company said in a statement.

There may be some issues as websites work through backlogs that occurred during the glitch.

Sites such as Snapchat, Roblox, Fortnite, McDonald’s and Coinbase were affected, The Associated Press reported.

The problems started cropping up around 3:11 a.m. ET. The outage occurred with AWS’s US-EAST-1 Region, the company said in its “health status” updates.

AWS “is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud.”
