Global outage affecting Amazon Web Services

Many of the world’s biggest websites and apps are down due to an outage affecting Amazon Web Services.

Snapchat, Duolingo, Zoom and Roblox have all been impacted, as well as customers of banks including Lloyds and Halifax – here’s what else has been hit.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is Amazon’s cloud computing division, and its infrastructure underpins millions of large companies’ websites and platforms.

AWS says it is now “seeing significant signs of recovery” and most requests should now be succeeding.
