Yesterday, a major AWS outage brought the world to a standstill. But why did it happen? And will it ever happen again?
Amazon Web Services is recovering after an outage that disrupted Facebook, Snapchat, Fortnite, Coinbase and other major platforms, once again illustrating the internet’s heavy reliance on the cloud giant and a lack of redundancy in online services.
Maybe we rely on Amazon Web Services a little too much. Thousands of sites, apps, and services went dark Monday morning. Here's why.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) experienced an outage Monday, impacting multiple websites in the US-EAST-1 Region, according to the company's health dashboard. Snapchat, Canva and Fortnite were just a few of the platforms experiencing issues following the outage.
