"We continue to experience high error rates with S3 in US-EAST-1, which is impacting various AWS services," wrote Amazon Web Services, on its service health dashboard. "We are working hard at repairing S3, believe we understand root cause, and are working on implementing what we believe will remediate the issue."

Users took to social media to discuss the outage.

BGR reports that when S3 goes down or experiences any type of latency or errors, it can prevent content from loading on web pages or cause requests to fail.
