The Amazon S3 web-based storage service is experiencing serious widespread issues. Web services and mobile apps leveraging on the Amazon service suffered a significant outage. Quora, Imgur, Medium, Business Insider, filesharing in Slack, and many others were affected by the outage. The outage was caused by high error rates with S3 in US-EAST-1, which is impacting various AWS services. We are working hard at repairing S3, believe we understand rootcause, and are working on implementing what we believe will remediate the issue.”]
