A significant outage in Amazon Web Services (AWS) has caused widespread disruptions across the internet, impacting over 1,000 websites and applications, including popular platforms like Snapchat, Fortnite, and financial services. Users of smart home devices, particularly luxury smart beds, reported losing sleep as their beds malfunctioned during the outage, which lasted for approximately 15 hours. Amazon attributed the incident to a rare software bug and faulty automation, highlighting the vulnerabilities in the digital infrastructure that many businesses and consumers increasingly rely on. The outage has sparked discussions about the risks associated with cloud computing and the dependence on major service providers, raising concerns about the fragile foundations of the global economy and internet stability. In the wake of the chaos, Amazon has apologized to customers and is working to restore confidence in its cloud services.
