Amazon Web Services (AWS) experienced a cooling system failure at a Northern Virginia data center, leading to an outage that affected several major platforms, including the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase and the gambling site FanDuel. The incident, which occurred in the US-EAST-1 region, caused hardware issues due to rising temperatures, resulting in degraded performance and transaction failures for users.
AWS responded by diverting traffic away from the affected availability zone and working to restore cooling systems and bring impacted hardware back online. Coinbase confirmed the disruption, noting that while customers experienced connectivity and trading issues, their funds remained secure. The exchange initiated a phased recovery process, temporarily placing markets in "Cancel Only" mode to ensure a stable restoration of trading services.
