Comments from Experts
“One interesting challenge is that the back channels a lot of tech people use to communicate information/tech details about ongoing outages are also taken down by this outage – hence our usual ways of learning (e.g. via signal or slack) are both currently stymied by the AWS outage.”
Said by Prof Jon Crowcroft FRS FREng, Marconi Professor of Communications Systems, University of Cambridge.
“At 6.56am UTC (0756 BST) AWS started to receive issue reports from users and within a few hours more than 500 companies were reporting errors. The issue is rooted in the DynamoDB service in Amazon’s US-EAST-1 region. The exact nature of the fault is currently not publicly available, but AWS reports they are working to repair it.”
Said by Dr Saqib Kakvi, from the Department of Information Security at Royal Holloway, University of London.
