Before they were resolved, the issues appeared to lead to service interruptions to Netflix, Twitch, Slack, and many other sites that use AWS, according to DownDetector.

The cloud service experienced a similar outage on December 7 when an AWS outage caused service interruptions to Netflix, Disney+, Tinder, Roku, and Ring home security services.

Amazon customers complained on social media they could not access home monitoring systems, Ring doorbells, or baby monitors due to the outage.

Amazon told employees the December 7 outage stemmed from a sudden surge of traffic that caused problems to "several network devices within the internal AWS network," according to leaked documents reviewed by Insider.
