Amazon’s mammoth computes Amazon cloud experienced problems on Friday, disrupting the constellation of sites that depend on it, such as Heroku.
The faults in the company’s Northern Virginia US-EAST-1 data centre cluster were spotted by Amazon at 7:32 am Pacific Time, and as of the time of writing, they were still experiencing problems.
Affected services included the mainstay EC2 compute service, load balancers, the Redshift data warehouse, the relational database service, and the simple email service.
Many sites were affected by the downtime, including photo-sharing service Flickr, Salesforce’s platform-as-a-service Amazon cloud Heroku, and numerous other websites.
