Amazon Web Services is down, and with AWS suffering a network outage, this means many of the world’s leading games and services are inoperational. Let’s take a look at who’s affected and how long this could last.
AWS is Amazon‘s large cloud platform, consisting of many leading companies. Quite simply, if the whole network goes down, so does every service attached to the platform.
