AWS reports fresh glitches days after global outage, thousands facing disruptions

AWS reported fresh glitches on Wednesday night with thousands facing issues — mere days after it resolved a massive outage that brought down more than half the internet. The brief crash also coincided with a Microsoft Azure outage that took down key parts of the internet.

Is AWS down?

Users flagged the issue across multiple online platforms during a brief wave of outage reports that the company later denied. Data from tracking site DownDetector indicates that most of the reports were coming from the US-EAST-1 region — the same area hit by technical issues last week.
