Amazon’s AWS face third outage this month, affecting Slack, Epic Games Store, Asana, and more

Amazon Web Service down a third time this month and also faced a very huge loss of its quality service.

Today’s outages seem less widespread but still notable, with some users unable to access services entirely and others merely experiencing intermittent faults. DownDetector.com shows reports of issues with the platforms mentioned above, as well as news aggregator Flipboard, online learning site Udemy, dating app Grindr, streaming service Hulu, and IoT services from Honeywell, Life360, and Samsung’s SmartThings.

In an incident update, Slack said its services are “experiencing issues with file uploads, message editing, and other services.” Asana says the problems constitute a “major outage,” with “many of our users unable to access Asana.” Epic Games Store said “Internet services outages” are “affecting logins, library, purchases, etc.”

“Connectivity and power to other data centers within the affected Availability Zone, or other Availability Zones within the US-EAST-1 Region are not affected by this issue, but we would recommend failing away from the affected Availability Zone (USE1-AZ4) if you are able to do so,” notes AWS in an update statement. “We continue to work to address the issue and restore power within the affected data center.”
