Summary
Dozens of online services across the United States and western Europe were down or running slowly, with users reporting disruptions on Slack, Reddit, Microsoft 365, Outlook, Azure, Cloudflare, Gmail and gaming networks.
AWS said its systems were operating normally all day, undercutting early suspicion of a major Amazon cloud outage and leaving the source of the disruption unresolved.
Apple’s status page still showed all services available, though users reported some iMessage issues that could stem from trouble reaching functioning services rather than failures inside Apple’s own network.
DownDetector and ThousandEyes showed widespread problems across many platforms, pointing to a possible Tier-1 backbone or other shared internet infrastructure issue; timing for a fix was still unknown.
