AWS US-EAST-1 Outage: What Went Wrong and How to Mitigate

AWS US-EAST-1 Outage: What Went Wrong and How to Mitigate

AWS experienced a major outage centered on its US-EAST-1 region in Northern Virginia, triggering cascading failures across dozens of cloud services and dependent applications worldwide. The incident began in the early hours of Monday and was initially mitigated within a few hours, though residual errors and recovery backlogs persisted through the morning in US-EAST-1. Engineering updates point to a DNS resolution problem affecting a key database endpoint (DynamoDB) alongside internal network and gateway errors in EC2, which then propagated across dependent services such as SQS and Amazon Connect. When a foundational component like DNS or an internal networking fabric falters, service discovery and API calls fail in bulk.
