Meanwhile, Amazon Web Services (AWS) said this was a result of a brief power outage at one of Amazon.com Inc’s data servers on the U.S. East Coast, reported Reuters.
“The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally,” AWS said.
Also, this is the third time in as many weeks that problems with AWS have had a significant effect on online services. According to reports, two incidents earlier this month involving AWS ended up knocking out streaming giants like Netflix and Disney Plus.
