Dan -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vernooij, Kees (ITOPT1) - KLM Sent: Friday, March 03, 2017 9:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Check out Massive Amazon cloud service outage disrupts sites Since I can't find any other references, the full translation of the Dutch article is: Seattle- a simple typing error was the cause of the global failure Tuesday on the internet. That was announced by Amazon Web Services (AWS) Thursday. An employee tried to fix a problem with the cloud servers from Amazon and had to turn off some. However, he mistakenly gave the command to disable a range of servers. That triggered a chain reaction whereby the computers had to be restarted. Websites like Buzzfeed, Expedia and Medium were hours hardly reachable. Also Snapchat was suffering from the failure. Eventually the problem lasted four hours.
