Business Standard
|November 10, 2025
On November 5, user reports across the United States indicated that Amazon Web Services (AWS) was experiencing yet another outage. However, AWS denied any disruption in its services.

Globally, there are about 2,770 Cloud infrastructure firms, with 207 based in India. As of November 2025, Indian Cloud firms have collectively raised $551 million in funding.
