Amazon Web Services faced a brief wave of outage reports Wednesday that temporarily disrupted some online platforms before the cloud giant said its systems were fully restored.
User complaints surged on tracking site DownDetector just after noon Eastern time, with most reports concentrated in the company’s US-EAST-1 region — the same area hit by technical issues last week.
By early afternoon, AWS said operations had stabilized. “AWS is operating normally and this reporting is incorrect,” the company said in a statement, noting that the AWS Health Dashboard showed no active incidents.
The apparent hiccup also coincided with reports of connectivity problems on Microsoft’s Azure platform, though both companies later said their networks were back to normal.
