AWS cited an “operational issue” affecting “multiple services” and said it was “working on multiple parallel paths to accelerate recovery,” in an update at 2:01 a.m. PDT.
Shortly afterward, AWS said it was seeing “significant signs of recovery.”
“Most requests should now be succeeding. We continue to work through a backlog of queued requests. We will continue to provide additional information,” it added.
The website Downdetector said that user reports indicated problems at sites including Amazon, Canva, Disney+, Lyft, the McDonald’s app, the New York Times, Reddit, Ring, Robinhood, Snapchat, T-Mobile, United Airlines, Venmo and Verizon.
Social media users cited disruption across cloud-based games, including Roblox and Fortnite, while crypto exchange Coinbase said that many users were unable to access the service due to the outage.
