NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — Several popular sites and services were taken offline Wednesday morning after Amazon's cloud computing network was hit with another widespread outage.
The issue, which began around 7:30 a.m., was due to a power outage at an Amazon Web Services data center in Northern Virginia.
"We have now restored power to all instances and network devices within the affected data center and are seeing recovery for the majority of EC2 instances and EBS volumes within the affected Availability Zone," read an update posted to the AWS status page about an hour later.
AWS said “all services are starting to see meaningful recovery” and that any services still experiencing issues “should be starting to see recovery at this stage.”
Hulu, Instacart, Slack, Epic Game Store and Twitter were among the many sites and services impacted.
AWS also provides cloud computing services to many governments and universities.
It's the third outage to hit Amazon's cloud-service network this month.
