Amazon Cloud Outage Hits Netflix

Last night, Reddit as well reported "issues communicating with Amazon EC2," and tweeted later that " Amazon's US-EAST data centers have all dropped off the internet." Reddit was back online about 11 hours ago, however at that point, Reddit said it had not but hard any updates on the situation from Amazon.

According to CRN, the issues happened afterwards Amazon network traffic was "executed incorrectly." Instead of shifting to another router, traffic went to a lower-capacity network, taking down servers in Northern Virginia.
