Amazon Web Services was hit by a wide-ranging outage on Tuesday afternoon that impacted a large number of major websites, including the Boston Globe and New York City’s Metropolitan Transit Authority
The afternoon outage affected some news organization’s ability to publish coverage of former President Donald Trump’s court appearance in Miami. In a tweet, The Boston Globe wrote, “Amazon Web Services is experiencing an outage, which has affected digital publishing operations at the Globe since around 2:45 p.m. EDT.” New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority similarly reported on Twitter that its website and app are “temporarily unavailable because of an Amazon Web Services outage.
Southwest Airlines said in replies on Twitter that it was working with Amazon to resolve issues that some customers were reporting involving accessing its website. There were some 12,000 reports of issues accessing AWS services on outage-tracking site DownDetector at around 3 p.m. ET, though new reports began to rapidly subside by 5 p.m. ET.
