Amazon Web Services, the tech behemoth’s cloud computing division, experienced a wide-reaching outage Tuesday.
The issues left engineers unable to access certain tools and affected businesses, although the immediate scale was not clear. The Boston Globe and the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority were among those tweeting that their websites were affected.
Amazon pointed to a publicly available AWS dashboard confirming the outage. As of 2 p.m. Tuesday, the company said many services were recovered and it was continuing to work on the issues, which were especially affecting customers using servers in Northern Virginia.
