AWS outage live: Users report outages with Microsoft and AWS

Despite a brief surge in consumer issue reports, AWS says there is not outage on its cloud platform.

“AWS is operating normally,” an AWS spokesperson told The Independent. “The only resource on the internet that provides accurate data on the availability of our services is the AWS Health Dashboard.”

Whenever there are issues with cloud service providers, their effects are soon felt across internet-connected apps and services throughout the economy.

According to unofficial crowd-sourced data on Downdetector, there has been a spike in reported issues today from users of the Xbox Network, Xfinity customers, Microsoft Teams users, and Starbucks rewards members.

While Amazon disputes reports of an AWS outage, Microsoft has publicly announced issues today on its Azure cloud platform.

“Starting at approximately 16:00 UTC, customers and Microsoft services that leverage Azure Front Door (AFD) may have experienced issues resulting in latencies, timeouts and errors,” the company wrote on the Azure website. “We have confirmed that an inadvertent configuration change as the trigger event for this issue.”

There aren’t any ongoing issues with AWS, according to Amazon.

“The only resource on the internet that provides accurate data on the availability of our services is the AWS Health Dashboard.”

That dashboard does not show any outages at the moment.

Another Amazon Web Services outage has reportedly hit, impacting thousands.

We’ll be tracking whether today’s reported AWS issue has similar ripple effects to the one that hit last week.
