Amazon Web Services, the world’s largest cloud computing platform, is currently down for thousands of users. The outage, which began at around 10:00 AM ET on Tuesday, affects a wide range of services, including Amazon’s e-commerce website, email service, and cloud-based storage service.
According to the outage tracking website Downdetector, over 10,000 users have reported issues with AWS. The website also shows that the outage affects many regions, including the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Amazon has not yet released a statement about the outage. However, the company’s status page shows an “issue” with AWS Lambda, which allows developers to run code without managing servers.
The outage is causing major disruptions for businesses and individuals who rely on AWS. For example, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) reports that its website is down, and the Boston Globe reports that its online edition is unavailable.
AWS is a critical part of the internet infrastructure, and outages like this can significantly impact businesses and individuals. Amazon is working to resolve the issue, but it is still being determined how long it will take for AWS to be fully restored.
