It is too early to call it an outage, but Amazon Web Services are currently facing some issues that are causing some websites to slow to a crawl of go offline entirely.

The company's status tracker mentions that the US-EAST-1 S3 services are facing availability issues and it is looking into the matter. There is no ETA provided by Amazon and we do not know the exact extent of the problem right now.

Many popular websites and services including Slack and Trello are facing disruptions due to these AWS issues. If there are any particular websites that you are unable to view, please leave a comment below.

Neowin forum members might notice broken links and missing content in posts, the news website should be in better shape comparatively.
