Description:
Another AWS outage has taken down a number of major sites.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Cloud computing service AWS appears to be suffering another outage, taking down a large number of major websites.

The outage began around 7am PT/3pm GMT, with thousands of incident reports flagged on tracker site DownDetector.

We're tracking the outage as it happens - so stay tuned for more updates as
we get them...

As mentioned, thousands of complaints have landed on DownDetector, with users across the US, Europe and Asia all reporting AWS issues.

This has led to a knock-on affect for other popular websites that are hosted on AWS services, which also appear to have gone offline.

According to DownDetector , the likes of Hulu, Intuit QuickBooks and DoorDash have all seen issues, as has Amazon.com (Image credit: Future / DownDetector)

Video game services appear to be particularly affected, with PlayStation Network, Twitch, League of Legends, Valorant, Apex Legends and Halo all
seeing problems.

The official AWS service status dashboard isn't showing any major issues as yet, but the site itself is very slow to load, possibly indicating something is going wrong.

The only issues currently displayed are concerning "AWS Internet
Connectivity" across its Northern California and Oregon areas - part of the AWS US-WEST-1 region.

AWS says it is, "investigating Internet connectivity issues to the US-WEST-1 Region." AWS outage is wrecking the Disneyland app and folks here are b i g m a d December 15, 2021 See more

Not exactly the "happiest place on Earth" at the moment, it seems....

It seems the issues are affecting both the US-WEST-1 and US-WEST-2 AWS
regions - two huge areas for the company, and home to a huge number of customers.

This could be why a large number of sites and tools are currently down - DownDetector is showing other services such as Zoom, Okta, Salesforce and Crunchyroll also affected.
