US EditionMassive Amazon cloud outage has been resolved after disrupting internet use worldwide
The outage, caused by a DNS failure in AWS's Virginia data center, disrupted services for over 4 million users and affected more than 1,000 companies worldwide.
- On Monday , Amazon said many applications were gradually coming back online in the US in the afternoon, though some users still reported lingering difficulties with Venmo and Zoom.

- Ookla reported over 4 million users faced issues and at least 1,000 companies were affected, including Fortnite, Coinbase, Robinhood, Lyft and Signal.
- Experts warned the outage shows reliance on few cloud providers, with Jake Moore saying `This outage once again highlights the dependency we have on relatively fragile infrastructures` and Ryan Griffin noting `For major businesses, hours of cloud downtime translate to millions in lost productivity and revenue`.
- It was at least the third time in five years that the US-EAST-1 data centre cluster in northern Virginia caused a major outage, while Amazon declined to explain and internal problem ticket reviewed by Reuters showed many broken services.
