Amazon.com reported disruptions across a number of its cloud-computing services Sunday, but says it's resolved the situation. The performance issues spanned Amazon's flagship EC2 service, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Elastic MapReduce, Amazon Mechanical Turk, Amazon Simple Queue Service, and Amazon Simple DB, according to the company's web services dashboard. Amazon, which is trying to convince potential enterprise customers that its cloud services are reliable, can't be happy about outages like this, and another one in June caused by a lightning storm.
Amazon didn't explain what exactly caused the problems Sunday. The company said it detected "elevated packet loss" in its EC2 service starting at 12:31 pm PDT and later said the problems spanned all availability zones in its "us-east-1" region. Amazon at 2:34 pm reported the problem was resolved.
The outages may have gone beyond Amazon Web Services. Data Center Knowledge says there were also "numerous reports of users briefly being unable to access the main Amazon.com retail site."
