Here's what you need to know about the AWS outage.
What is Amazon Web Services?
Amazon Web Services provides cloud computing services to millions of customers that include companies and organizations across various sectors such as technology, entertainment, government, education and financial services.
The cloud provider offers more than 200 services, enabling businesses to store data, host websites and access computing power.
Businesses pay Amazon based on the consumption of these services so they don't have to own and maintain data centers and servers themselves.
