Amazon denies AWS outage reports, says ‘operating normally’
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has denied the reports of a new service outage affecting its cloud infrastructure, following a wave of user complaints and social media speculation. The company has clarified that its systems are completely operational and has attributed the confusion to issues stemming from another infrastructure provider. The reports about AWS outage started circulating later Wednesday (October 29) after some users reported connectivity issues on multiple platforms. Outage tracking website Downdetector too showed several users reporting AWS outage. User reports claiming dusruption in AWS services on Downdetector exceeded 5000. Several posts on Twitter too showed lists of websites and apps impacted by AWS outage. Amazon, however, denied that there has been any disruption in AWS services. “AWS is operating normally and this reporting is incorrect. The only resource on the internet that provides accurate data on the availability of our services is the AWS Health Dashboard,” a spokesperson told Times of India.
Amazon is set to report its Q3 2025 earnings
Amazon is set to report its third quarter earnings (Q3) after market close on October 30, with investor attention sharply focused on the performance of AWS and the company’s escalating AI investments. Analysts expect Amazon to post continued revenue growth, driven by strong advertising and e-commerce segments, though concerns linger over AWS’s recent market share losses and margin compression. The company’s second quarter (Q2) results exceeded expectations, but a cautious Q3 outlook and rising capital expenditures—particularly in AI infrastructure—have kept investor sentiment mixed.
