Elon Musk took a sharp dig at Amazon after a major AWS outage on Monday, Oct. 20, knocked out several cloud-dependent platforms for hours;\u00a0temporarily bringing nearly half the internet to a halt.<\/p>\n
Services including Amazon Prime Video, Canva, Perplexity AI, and several others relying on Amazon Web Services faced downtime, frustrating millions of users worldwide.<\/p>\n
Musk posted a sarcastic \u201cYou don\u2019t say\u201d on X (formerly Twitter) in response to a resurfaced statement from the AWS CEO, where he had claimed that 75% of Amazon\u2019s production code is now AI-generated.<\/p>\n
Musk had earlier expressed distrust in Signal, the encrypted messaging app, which happens to depend on AWS servers.<\/p>\n
Signal\u2019s President Meredith Whittaker confirmed on X that their platform was also impacted by the outage.<\/p>\n
According to Downdetector, there were over 2,000 outage reports in the U.S. alone. Amazon\u2019s own ecosystem wasn\u2019t spared either;\u00a0Amazon.com, Prime Video, and Alexa all suffered connectivity issues.<\/p>\n
The disruption also hit major platforms like Venmo, Snapchat, Roblox, Crunchyroll, Coinbase, Canva, Duolingo, Goodreads, Ring, and more.<\/p>\n
Amazon later confirmed that the issue, which affected its cloud computing arm, had been \u201cfully mitigated\u201d.<\/p>\n
The company cited an \u201coperational issue\u201d that impacted multiple services, adding it was working on \u201cmultiple parallel paths to accelerate recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n
AWS;\u00a0which provides on-demand computing power, data storage, and other digital infrastructure to companies, governments, and individuals;\u00a0is one of the backbone services of the global internet.<\/p>\n
A disruption of this scale can ripple through multiple industries, given its dominant role in global cloud infrastructure, competing directly with Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elon Musk took a sharp dig at Amazon after a major AWS outage on Monday, Oct. 20, knocked…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214368,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,2151,733,4308,5288,995,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-214367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-amazon","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-aws","tag-elon-musk","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
