A widespread internet outage was reported Monday involving Amazon services that impacted several popular services like Snapchat, Fortnite and Roblox.
When cloud giant Amazon Web Services (AWS) falters, it's not just one website that disappears—it's a large slice of the internet. On 20 October 2025, multiple platforms including Snapchat, Canva and Roblox went offline as AWS's US-East-1 region suffered DNS and service failures.
