Amazon’s AWS is wreaking havoc on the internet again
Amazon’s AWS is wreaking havoc on the internet again.
One of the company’s AWS data centers in the U.S. is down, which has caused several services to become unavailable to users in the U.S. This includes Amazon itself, Slack, Hulu, Grindr, Epic Games Store, and more.
According to Downdetector, these issues are ongoing in America. Users in Europe and other parts of the world appear to be largely unaffected. (Full disclosure: Downdetector is owned by Mashable’s parent company, ZiffDavis.)
All of these services are having issues because of one of Amazon’s data centers.

“We can confirm a loss of power within a single data center within a single Availability Zone (USE1-AZ4) in the US-EAST-1 Region. This is affecting availability and connectivity to EC2 instances that are part of the affected data center within the affected Availability Zone. We are also experiencing elevated RunInstance API error rates for launches within the affected Availability Zone,” a message on Amazon’s Service Health Dashboard says.
It appears that the problems will be resolved soon, though. In an update, Amazon said it has “now restored power to all instances and network devices within the affected data center and are seeing recovery for the majority of EC2 instances and EBS volumes within the affected Availability Zone.”
Earlier this month, a major Amazon AWS outage caused several major internet services to become unavailable. The problem was resolved on the same day.
