Description

A major outage at Amazon Web Services (AWS) brought down huge parts of the internet—crippling platforms like Snapchat, Reddit, WhatsApp, and even banking and tax portals. The issue was traced to a DNS failure at a key AWS data center in North Virginia. The disruption has renewed concerns over Big Tech's dominance, with U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren calling for the breakup of large internet giants like Amazon. --- AWS Outage | Amazon Web Services Down | Amazon Web Services Outage | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #aws #amazonwebservice #awsoutage #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
