After last week's incident that interrupted deliveries and shut off feeds from security cameras, Amazon Web Services barely finished the postmortem. The company's US-West server connections were failing around 10:45AM, just a week after the US-EAST-1 region was hit by a power failure.

We are aware of some issues with the service.

The network of Amazon server farms powers more services than you can imagine, but the most visible sign of trouble showed up when the Amazon-owned livestreaming platform went down. The support account said that they are aware of issues affecting the service.

There are also reports of issues with Nintendo Online, Xbox Live, and the PS Network.

The initial message on the Status page said that they were investigating internet issues for the US-WEST-1 and US-WEST-2 region. Hopefully, it will stay that way, as Amazon reported that they have resolved the issue affecting internet connection.

The outage has been resolved.
