Update: As of now, both AWS servers appear to be back up and running; websites like Twitch, Netflix, and PlayStation Network are up and running on our end

The massive Amazon Web Services, or AWS, outage affected some of the largest websites and services on the Internet, including Twitch, PlayStation Network, Doordash, and League of Legends The outage now appears to be under control

According to Amazon's AWS Service Health Dashboard website, Internet connectivity is currently affecting servers in the western United States, particularly in Oregon and northern California

At this time, Amazon has acknowledged the issue and appears to have restored connectivity to both servers

US-WEST-1, which includes northern California, is fully operational again Amazon engineers stated that connectivity within this region was not affected in the first place In other words, most of the problems appear to have been caused by US-WEST-2 in Oregon Nevertheless, US-WEST-2 also appears to be back up and running
