AWS outage update: Amazon, Alexa, Snapchat, Reddit, more hit by massive outage

Amazon services, including Prime and Alexa, as well as other internet services including Snapchat, Roblox, Lyft, and more appear to be disrupted, according to Downdetector.

The reported issues began shortly after 3 a.m. ET, according to Downdetector.

Amazon Web Services‘ status page first reported the issue at 3:11 a.m. ET. The page confirmed engineers were investigating the ongoing issue and had potentially identified the root cause as of 5 a.m. ET.

As of 6 a.m. ET, AWS reports services to be recovering, which is consistent with a drop of reported issues across impacted sites, per Downdetector.

Many sites and services rely on AWS to operate, which can cause a ripple effect across the internet when disrupted.

It’s important to note that not all services were knocked offline completely by the outage. Reddit for example, is reporting degraded performance as it deals with issues in “Reddit infrastructure.” The issues, while not explicitly tied to the AWS outage, were observed to be occurring at the same time.

Slack is also experiencing significant performance issues attributed to an “upstream provider,” but the service is still functioning Monday morning.
