This was crazy to see! I saw many banks over here in the UK that were affected; luckily, mine wasn't. Amazon and its services, such as Ring and Alexa, were the ones I was mostly affected by.

Seems many services are back up and running now, with a few still down.

This was a crazy day for thousands of websites that rely on AWS. I heard the Amazon warehouse workers couldn't do anything so they got paid for standing around. Too bad they couldn't sit down, that would make for a easy work day lol. I used to work in a warehouse, and it was boring when we had downtime though. They made us clean all day and I bet the amazon warehouse workers probably had to do that.
