Amazon Web Services experienced a data center outage that disrupted trading operations on multiple platforms including FanDuel and Coinbase. The outage affected users' ability to execute trades and access services on these platforms.

AWS officials indicated that recovery efforts were underway, with restoration expected to take several hours. The specific cause of the outage was not immediately disclosed by Amazon.

The disruption highlighted the dependence of major financial and gaming platforms on cloud infrastructure services. Both FanDuel, a sports betting platform, and Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, rely on AWS for their technical operations.

This outage occurred as Amazon continues expanding its data center infrastructure globally. The company recently moved forward with plans for a data center project in Chile after local residents unsuccessfully challenged the development on environmental grounds.

Amazon Web Services is one of the largest cloud computing providers globally, serving numerous businesses and organizations that depend on its infrastructure for critical operations.
