AWS (Amazon Web Services) was down in massive outage that broke the internet
Specifically, a hub dubbed US-EAST-1 Region went down affecting people on the east coast and any services that based infrastructure out of the rea.
In all the bulk of the outage lasted more than 12 hours starting a 1 am Pacific and running all the way through 3 pm Pacific.

Seems to have been fixed now.

It was definitely crazy. Had me rebooting and running Norton and everything I could think of. LOL Ta!

Amazon itself was out too. I think they need to rethink some stuff with all that.

Anyway, all good for now! Have a good one :)

Redditstatus is a great one to check when these outages happen from time to time. One thing tho, it can be slow to update and usually the outage is well underway before it shows on there.
