Amazon Web Services, one of the world’s most critical cloud infrastructure providers, has begun to recover after an outage earlier on Oct. 20 caused major disruptions across dozens of popular platforms, apps, and games.
The outage, beginning early Monday morning, rippled through major consumer and enterprise platforms. About three hours after the outage began, Amazon reported the service was starting to recover. It wasn’t until around 6 p.m. ET that the company reported “services returned to normal operations.”
