It seems that huge portions of the internet are struggling right now, including Slack, Imgur, the Epic Games Store, and more. Huge portions of the internet are reliant on Amazon Web Services, and when they face issues, so does the entire internet. If you’re having problems with some of your favourite websites, you definitely aren’t alone. Other affected sites include Coinbase, Hulu, and Udemy, to name a few.
User reports recently spiked on Down Detector. Amazon said at first that it was investigating “increased EC2 launch failures and networking connectivity issues” in its USE1-AZ4 availability zone.
“We are investigating increased EC2 launch failures and networking connectivity issues for some instances in a single Availability Zone (USE1-AZ4) in the US-EAST-1 Region. Other Availability Zones within the US-EAST-1 Region are not affected by this issue.”
However, since then, the company has confirmed a power outage in the USE1-AZ4 availability zone.
“We can confirm a loss of power within a single data center within a single Availability Zone (USE1-AZ4) in the US-EAST-1 Region. This is affecting availability and connectivity to EC2 instances that are part of the affected data center within the affected Availability Zone. We are also experiencing elevated RunInstance API error rates for launches within the affected Availability Zone. Connectivity and power to other data centers within the affected Availability Zone, or other Availability Zones within the US-EAST-1 Region are not affected by this issue, but we would recommend failing away from the affected Availability Zone (USE1-AZ4) if you are able to do so. We continue to work to address the issue and restore power within the affected data center.”
Outages like this are extremely rare, and very few last more than an hour. We’ve seen some more significant outages though recently from the likes of Facebook, and even another outage from Amazon just last week.
