Highlights
  • The outage began with a race condition in DynamoDB's automated DNS system that left an empty DNS record for the North Virginia endpoint, triggering a large-scale AWS disruption.
  • AWS manually intervened to restore connectivity after the DynamoDB DNS fix failed, as the automated recovery could not resolve the issue on its own.
  • The outage affected a broad set of services and sites, including government and consumer apps, for an extended period.
