Amazon Web Services Recovers After Major Global Outage | Tech Field Day Rundown: October 22, 2025
Manage episode 516529875 series 2134755
AWS is restoring operations after a massive outage disrupted internet access worldwide, affecting major platforms like Snapchat, Facebook, Fortnite, Delta, Coinbase, and several banks. The issue stemmed from a DNS failure that temporarily prevented access to data stored in AWS systems, causing widespread service interruptions and “Error 404” messages. Experts say the outage, which exposed how heavily global internet infrastructure depends on AWS, may have cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Amazon says it has “fully mitigated” the issue and continues investigating the root cause. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and guest host Kate Scarcella.
