Amazon Web Services, a cloud platform that supports a portion of the internet, experienced a massive outage on Monday.

Yesterday, a major AWS outage brought the world to a standstill. But why did it happen? And will it ever happen again?

AWS outage has taken down millions of websites, including Amazon.com, Prime Video, Perplexity AI, Canva and more.

Amazon says its systems are back online again after connectivity issues persisted Monday. But reports of problems with Amazon’s cloud computing services unit AWS continue.
