Are NYC services down due to the AWS outage? What to know
NEW YORK (PIX11) – An Amazon Web Services outage caused users across multiple apps to experience disruptions early Monday, according to Downdetector.
Snapchat, Ring and Chime are just some of the platforms potentially affected by the outage. Are essential New York City services experiencing issues due to Amazon Web Services?
“Any impacts we are seeing appear residual or minor at this time. No significant resource requests have been made to NYCEM. We will share updates if the situation significantly changes,” the New York City Office of Emergency Management wrote on X.
The MTA’s in-app chatbot is down, according to the agency. It’s unclear if it’s related to the outage.
The global Microsoft outage in July also didn’t significantly affect services in the city. Emergency operations, like 911 and hospitals, were still running.
