Reports of service disruptions earlier in the day in the US and India were addressed by AWS following complaints from users. Speculation on social media about AWS services being affected was dismissed by the company, attributing the misinformation to an unrelated issue on the internet.
AWS emphasized that its services were not disrupted and advised users to rely on the AWS Health Dashboard for authentic updates on service status. The company debunked rumors circulating online and highlighted the importance of verifying information through official channels. Data from Downdetector revealed a peak in reported issues, primarily from the US, with a significant number of users facing problems accessing AWS-linked services.
In India, the complaints were comparatively lower, with users in cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, and New Delhi reporting disruptions. Some users in the US noted difficulties accessing gaming platforms, impacting titles from Epic Games such as Fortnite, Rocket League, and ARC Raiders.
