AWS outage: Amazon Prime, Alexa, Snapchat, more down in massive internet outage

Amazon services, including Prime and Alexa, as well as other internet services including Snapchat, Roblox, Lyft, and more appear to be disrupted, according to Downdetector.

The reported issues began shortly after 3 a.m. ET, according to Downdetector.

Amazon Web Services’ status page first reported the issue at 3:11 a.m. ET. The page confirmed engineers were investigating the ongoing issue and had potentially identified the root cause as of 5 a.m. ET.

Many sites and services rely on AWS to operate, which can cause a ripple effect across the internet when disrupted.
