Amazon earlier said the outage had affected its platform
that provides computing capacity to cloud network operated by AWS.
Office messaging app Slack had said it was experiencing
issues with file uploads, message editing, and other services.
A major outage in the same region earlier this month brought
down streaming platforms Netflix and Disney+, trading app Robinhood as well as
Amazon's e-commerce website.
Separately, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is
advancing an antitrust probe into AWS, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday,
citing people familiar with the matter.
FTC officials have contacted companies in the past few
months to gather information about competition issues related to AWS, according
to the report which cited unnamed people familiar with the matter.
The probe was undertaken as part of an investigation begun
during the Trump administration, which kicked off investigations into the four
tech giants.
Amazon did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for
comment.
"The FTC doesn't confirm the existence of or comment on
investigations," said agency spokeswoman Betsy Lordan. © Reuters
