Amazon Web Services outage knocks out Google, ChatGPT, Facebook, Epic Games Store, and other services
20.10.25
A major technical outage has hit the cloud division of Amazon Web Services (AWS), affecting a significant portion of the global Internet. The problems affected services that rely on AWS infrastructure – which is about half of the Internet.
According to official data, the outage is related to the DynamoDB database endpoints in US-EAST-1, one of Amazon’s key data centers in the United States. The company confirmed that it is aware of the problem and is actively working to fix it, but the exact time of restoration of work has not yet been announced.
The incident has caused disruptions to services such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Snapchat, Roblox, Google, Steam, Epic Games Store, Atlassian, Facebook, Telegram, X (Twitter), and others. Users are also reporting difficulties connecting to Signal and other platforms.
Outages in AWS traditionally have global consequences, as the company’s infrastructure is the basis for thousands of websites, games, cloud services, and business applications around the world.
