Amazon’s web services have experienced an outage, causing disruptions to various online services and platforms. The issue lies in DNS resolution problems with the DynamoDB APIs in the US-EAST-1 Region. Several popular services, including social media sites like Reddit and Snapchat, task management tools like Asana, and even some Amazon-owned products, are affected.
Many third-party services have reported outages, such as Downdetector, Venmo, Pinterest, Roblox, Lyft, Delta, and the McDonald’s app, among others. The problem is not limited to individual websites but also impacts global services and features that rely on US-EAST-1 endpoints.
This outage has a ripple effect on many Amazon-owned products, including the Alexa voice assistant, IMDb, and Ring cameras. For those experiencing issues, it’s likely due to their reliance on AWS for some functionality. The situation is being worked on by Amazon to accelerate recovery, but users may face further disruptions until then.
