Amazon’s cloud services unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS), is recovering early Monday morning after an outage that caused connectivity issues for businesses and disrupted services for popular websites and apps.
Among those affected were video game Fortnite, social media app Snapchat and graphic design platform Canva.
“The underlying DNS issue has been fully mitigated and most AWS service operations are now successful as normal,” AWS said in its 6:35 a.m. ET update.
“Some requests may be limited while we work toward a full resolution,” AWS said, adding that it would continue to update its customers.

AI startup Perplexity, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase and trading app Robinhood have all blamed outages on AWS, according to Reuters.
The AWS outage is the first major internet disruption since last year’s CrowdStrike malfunction that hampered technology systems at hospitals, banks and airports around the world.
