About AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's largest cloud computing platform, powering millions of businesses from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. AWS provides compute, storage, database, machine learning, and hundreds of other services. An AWS outage can cascade across the internet, taking down thousands of websites and apps that depend on its infrastructure.

Common Reasons AWS Goes Down

Even the most reliable services experience downtime. Here are the most common reasons AWS may be unavailable:

  • Hardware failures in data centre infrastructure
  • Network partition events isolating availability zones
  • API rate limiting during peak deployment windows
  • DNS propagation issues after infrastructure changes
  • Cascading failures when dependent services go offline
  • Certificate renewal failures disrupting TLS connections

How AWS Downtime Affects You

When AWS goes offline, the effects ripple across businesses and users who depend on it:

  • Websites and applications hosted on the platform go offline for end users.
  • Deployment pipelines are blocked, delaying releases and hotfixes.
  • Cascading failures affect multiple downstream services and businesses.
  • Database-dependent operations halt, causing data processing backlogs.

Monitoring your own dependencies on services like AWS is essential. Check your website's health score to see how resilient your site is to third-party outages.
