"AWS's US-East-1, the company's largest cloud region in Northern Virginia, hosts dozens of its data centers. The downtime originating from the region has left several popular sites inaccessible, including social media platform Snapchat (SNAP), crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN), and trading platform Robinhood (HOOD). Amazon's services, such as the shopping site Amazon.com, streaming platform Prime Video, and AI assistant Alexa, were also affected."
"AWS, which confirmed the outage, said that a potential cause of the downtime could be the inability of its technology to translate the web address for DynamoDB - the company's NoSQL database service - into an internet protocol (IP) address. IP makes it possible for computers to find and connect to web addresses. Several apps through application programming interface endpoints rely on DynamoDB to run their online services. However, the outage resulted in "increased error rates and latencies," according to Amazon."
AWS's US-East-1 region in Northern Virginia experienced a major outage that disrupted dozens of data centers. The downtime rendered popular services inaccessible, including Snapchat, Coinbase, Robinhood, Amazon.com, Prime Video, and Alexa. AWS indicated a potential cause was the inability of its technology to translate the web address for DynamoDB - the company's NoSQL database service - into an IP address. IP translation failures prevented computers and APIs from locating DynamoDB, causing increased error rates and higher latencies for applications relying on its endpoints. AWS applied initial mitigations and began restoring access, noting global services dependent on US-EAST-1 have recovered. Downdetector recorded additional site impacts.
