Disruption in Amazon’s cloud service ripples through Internet @ Cloud Computing
Web
users experienced widespread glitches on Tuesday, from news sites to government
services, after Amazon.com Inc’s popular cloud service that hosts their data
suffered a technical disruption.
Amazon’s
Simple Storage Service, or Amazon S3, had difficulty sending and receiving
clients’ data for more than three-and-a half hours, according to company status
reports online.
Amazon
did not disclose the cause, and some of its smaller cloud applications in North
America continued to be hit.
Amazon
Web Services (AWS) is the world’s biggest cloud business.
Meanwhile,
Apple Inc on its website reported issues with its app store, music-streaming
service and other products, which it later resolved. The iPhone maker did not
immediately comment on the cause; however, it has said it uses Amazon S3 for
some storage.
Nilay
Patel, editor in chief of tech website The Verge, said on Twitter that an
article “published without an image because our image system runs on AWS.”
Messaging startup Slack Technologies Inc said users may have had difficulty
uploading files due to problems with its hosting service, according to Twitter
posts.
“Imagine
your business not being able to run for a day. It’ s a big problem,” said Gene
Munster, research head, Loup Ventures.
