  • I or others can go into more detail, but I’m guessing you do not want a super in depth answer?

    One of the major cloud providers (aka renting a chunk of a data center) has a outage in the us-east-1 region. Because of internal dependencies on us-east-1, when that AWS region (aka data center) has problems it impacts service’s across all AWS regions. To end users, suddenly web sites will act strange, crash, or just not work as elements of their backend are having problems. Due to the raw size of AWS, when something like this happens vast swaths of the web will break.
