Another Amazon Web Services Outage Takes Out Top Websites
Reddit, foursquare and Pinterest ware among the large sites hit yesterday thanks to escalating issues at Amazon Web Service’s data centre in northern Virginia. It marks the third time major outages have occurred as a result of Amazon problems in that region in the last five months. The biggest cloud provider in the world saw storms hit its northern Virginia data centre in July this year, disrupting power and taking out major services, including Netflix. In June, the same data centre lost power, thanks to multiple backup failures.
