@nfbnews247A routine DNS glitch caused a massive AWS outage on October 20, 2025, knocking popular apps and websites like Snapchat, Reddit, Venmo, and Fortnite offline worldwide. This DNS failure disrupted Amazon’s critical DynamoDB service, blocking sites from properly translating domain names to IP addresses, essentially breaking the internet’s “phone book.” The domino effect also hit network load balancers, intensifying the disruption. Millions of users and thousands of businesses relying on AWS experienced service outages for hours, highlighting the internet’s heavy dependence on a few major cloud providers. Amazon confirmed full mitigation by early Monday, but the event exposed key vulnerabilities in internet infrastructure. Curious why one outage caused such chaos?
