Amazon Web Services crash aftermath

Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services (AWS) experienced it's most damaging crash since it's inception yesterday. Vans stopped. Drivers went home. Holiday packages piled up.

The AWS outage occurred during the holiday shopping rush. The package delivery chain was crippled, however, that was just the beginning. Large portions of the Internet also stalled. Disneyland visitors worldwide had trouble checking in. Robinhood and Coinbase crashed. Netflix and Disney+ were down. Even Tinder was alone.

Services went down around 10:45AM ET, and just after 6PM ET the AWS Status showed "Many services have already recovered, however we are working towards full recovery across services."
