Amazon Web Services It is literally one of the Internet services most used by large and small companies and websites, which means, as you may be thinking, that at the first failure thousands of sites are affected. This is the reason why it is not your connection that is going bad, but it is precisely the site you are trying to visit that is either down or not working properly.
Apparently the problem they have in Amazon Web Services has been located in the data center US-East-1 located in Northern Virginia where they have a problem in terms of warehousing services, apparently they are giving 'high error rates'. This is the culprit that many users cannot access certain internet sites while others cannot offer certain content.
Amazon Web Service is facing serious storage problems at its US-East-1 data center.
Among the most renowned companies affected, we find nothing less than, for example, services such as Trello, IFTTT, Splitwise, Hootsuite, Alexa, Nest ... and even, at least for several hours, it has also begun to affect image hosting services as they can be The Verge and even to the internet connection of many mobile applications, most of them developed for iOS.
Undoubtedly a hard blow from which they will surely know how to get ahead since we are talking about one of the technology companies with the largest number of highly qualified engineers on the planet who are surely working like never before to restore services and prevent users from continuing to pay for its failures.
UPDATE:
Amazon has just announced that, at last, they have brought all Amazon Web Services back to normal, so everything, in a matter of hours, should work as before.
