There is a large Amazon Web Server (AWS) outage affecting most of the Internet. Amazon believes they have deployed a fix but any issues related to Internet may be related to this outage.
The issue began shortly after midnight PDT in AWS’ main US-East-1 region hosted in northern Virginia. A notice on AWS’ status page said it was experiencing DNS problems with DynamoDB, its database service that underpins many other AWS applications.
DNS, or Domain Name System, translates website names to IP addresses so browsers and other applications can load.
AWS cited an “operational issue” affecting “multiple services” and said it was “working on multiple parallel paths to accelerate recovery,” in an update at 2:01 a.m. PDT. More than 70 of its own services were affected.
Shortly afterward, AWS said it was seeing “significant signs of recovery.”
By 3:35 a.m. PDT, the issue had been “fully mitigated,” AWS said in an update, adding that most AWS service operations “are succeeding normally now.”
“Some requests may be throttled while we work toward full resolution,” it said, noting some services were continuing to work through a backlog.
