The addition of the new capacity “caused all of the servers in the fleet to exceed the maximum number of threads allowed by an operating system configuration,” describing a cascade of resulting problems that took down thousands of sites and services.

The outage impacted online services from big tech companies such as Adobe, Roku, Twilio, Flickr, Autodesk, and others, including New York City’s Metropolitan Transit Authority and the Washington Post, which is owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, was also impacted by the outage.

It was an especially ill-timed incident for Amazon, coming just days before its annual AWS re:Invent cloud conference. Reliability has

Amazon Web Services suffers amid widespread issues with online applications

Posted on November 25, 2020 by [email protected]_84

MARKET PULSE

Amazon.com Inc.’s massive cloud-computing operation reported errors with a key data-streaming platform Wednesday morning, as online applications suffered across the U.S. Amazon Web Services reported problems with its Kinesis service, which assists online services with real-time data streaming at 9:36 a.m. Eastern time. About an hour later, AWS posted a banner atop its Service Health Dashboard saying that the issue had spread to other services and that it “has also affected our ability to post updates to the Service Health Dashboard.” At 12:12 p.m. Eastern, Amazon said on the site it was “continuing to work towards resolution.” The problems stemmed from the company’s core eastern U.S. hub in northern Virginia; a problem with AWS’s S3 service at that facility in 2017 caused widespread outages for popular online services. The website downdetector.com, which tracks online services, reported problems from several popular offerings Wednesday morning, including the popular

The electronics retailer reported $11.85 billion in total revenue for the quarter to October 31 — up 21.4% on the same time last year, which the company noted was better that expected. Analysts had expected revenues of about $11.0 billion.
