Amazon Confirms AWS Cloud Service Back Online After Massive Global Outage

Amazon on Monday (local time) announced that its systems are largely back online following a major outage caused by technical issues within its cloud computing arm, Amazon Web Services (AWS).

While the company reported its systems to be back online, several users continued to experience residual delays across various services.

According to CNN, the disruption, which began overnight, temporarily brought down numerous high-profile websites, apps, and essential digital platforms across the globe, including apps like Snapchat and Facebook, gaming platforms such as Fortnite and Roblox, streaming services including Disney+ and Hulu, and critical services like Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and McDonald’s.
