Amazon Web Services Suffers Cloud Outage

Amazon’s U.S. East data center suffered degraded performance on Monday, knocking a number of major websites offline, including Foursquare, Heroku and others.  The outage impacted the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud,  the Amazon Relational Database Service and the AWS Elastic Beanstalk, all of which are hosted in the Northern Virginia data center.
