AWS, Cloudflare Down For Hundreds Of Users: Here's What We Know So Far

A global outage has hit AWS, Cloudflare, X, and even OpenAI. Reports are flooding in across major cities, but the cause remains unclear.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cloudflare appear to be down for hundreds of users. Last month, AWS faced the same outage, which affected millions of users worldwide; the same has happened yet again. As per Downdetector, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Mumbai are the major areas affected in India. The cloud computing platform is not only facing an outage in India, but UK, the US, and Australia, too.

Elon Musk Previously Mocked AWS For Outage

A month ago, AWS (Amazon's internet service) had a huge global crash. Elon Musk, who owns X, mocked Amazon using his platform.

Musk said X always worked fine because it did not use AWS. He told everyone that X chats were super safe (encrypted) and he could not read them. He also mentioned X was good for calls and sending files when the internet broke.

He reposted a post that said X was reliable because it wasn't connected to AWS. Now, as the tables are turned, X is also facing the same outage as AWS. Now, all we have to see is how Musk reacts to the Outage this time.
