According to the AWS service health page, Amazon was looking into "increased error rates and latencies for multiple AWS services" in the US-EAST-1 region (i.e. data centers in Northern Virginia) as of 3:11AM ET on Monday.
An unprecedented Amazon Web Services outage that caused nearly 150 major sites and apps – including Snapchat, Venmo and Roblox – to go dark was apparently caused by a common tech glitch. The 15-hour outage appeared to be caused by an “underlying DNS issue,” Amazon Web Services said in a status tracker on its website.
