Amazon and other services have been affected by computer problems.

Thousands of users across the world have reported problems on the website.

The cloud computing arm of Amazon is also affected.

Amazon said it was working towards recovery, but gave no timescale.

The company said that not all regions of the world had problems. There are reports that the biggest disruption is on the US east coast.

Many users on the Amazon shopping website reported a slow loading of pages, rather than an inability to use the service.

Amazon's Ring security cameras, Chime, and iRobot were all facing issues according to their social media pages.

This is the third time this year that Amazon has had an issue. Users experienced a brief outage on Amazon platforms in June.

Several other companies were also hit by that incident.

The disruption of the online stores service lasted for nearly two hours and affected almost 40,000 users.

Amazon customers are getting ready for Christmas.

The large number of corporate customers could be a factor in the problems at the biggest cloud computing company in the world.

There are reports in the US that users of McDonald's and other companies are having problems.
