A major AWS outage on October 20 knocked out several cloud-dependent platforms for hours, temporarily bringing nearly half the internet to a halt.
Services including Amazon Prime Video, Canva, Perplexity AI, and several others relying on Amazon Web Services faced downtime, frustrating millions of users worldwide.
Elon Musk posted a sarcastic “You don’t say” on X in response to a statement from the AWS CEO, claiming 75% of Amazon’s production code is now AI-generated.
Musk had earlier expressed distrust in Signal, the encrypted messaging app, which depends on AWS servers. Signal’s President Meredith Whittaker confirmed on X that their platform was also impacted by the outage.
