Amazon Web Services AWS suffered a major outage on Monday that left many South African users unable to reach everyday sites and apps.
Local technology site MyBroadband reported that platforms from Standard Bank to Snapchat and gaming services such as Roblox and Fortnite showed errors for users across the country.
AWS said it saw significant error rates for requests to the DynamoDB API in its US-EAST-1 region and that DNS resolution of the DynamoDB endpoint appears to be a likely cause.
