"We can confirm significant error rates for requests made to the DynamoDB endpoint in the US-EAST-1 Region," Amazon said in a status update, with the East-1 region located in Northern Virginia.

"This issue also affects other AWS Services in the US-EAST-1 Region as well. During this time, customers may be unable to create or update Support Cases. Engineers were immediately engaged and are actively working on both mitigating the issue, and fully understanding the root cause."

The DynamoDB problem has impacted other AWS services, including AWS Global Accelerator, AWS VPCE PrivateLink, AWS Security Token Service, AWS Step Functions, AWS Systems Manager, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Amazon EventBridge, Amazon EventBridge Scheduler, Amazon GameLift Servers, Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Amazon SageMaker, and Amazon VPC Lattice.

Update at 3:03AM PDT: AWS said in a status update: "We continue to observe recovery across most of the affected AWS Services. We can confirm global services and features that rely on US-EAST-1 have also recovered. We continue to work towards full resolution and will provide updates as we have more information to share."

We will update this story as we learn more.
