AWS is down again – everything we know so far

Amazon’s cloud computing arm, AWS, has suffered yet another outage. This is the fourth time in recent months the service has gone down.

According to data from outage tracking site DownDetector, the outage began at 15:00 GMT / 10:00 ET.

There’s nothing on the official AWS status page as yet, so it’s unclear precisely which services are affected, but we’ll be updating this blog with all the latest updates.

This is a developing story…

So far, the number of DownDetector reports is sitting at around 500, which is relatively low. For a major outage affecting multiple regions, we’d expect a few thousand reports at least.
