Amazon Web Services are recovering again after global internet outage

AmazonWeb Services reported a major outage on Monday, taking down numerous major websites.

Many sites came back online within a few hours, although Downdetector showed another spike in user reports around noon ET of outages at Amazon, AWS and Alexa.

Amazon said in a blog post Monday afternoon that AWS customers were still experiencing "increased error rates" when trying to launch new instances in EC2, its popular cloud service that provides virtual server capacity.

The company also confirmed that the outage impacted Amazon.com, some of its subsidiaries and AWS customer support operations.

"We are working to fully restore service as quickly as possible," the company wrote.
