Amazon Web Services (AWS) said on November 12, local time, that inaccurate reports were circulating about its service status amid an outage affecting another service. The statement, posted on AWS’s official X account, appeared to reject reports linking the Microsoft 365 disruption with an AWS incident that occurred at a different time. AWS said its services were operating normally and described the other internet outage as unrelated.
The Microsoft 365 outage began at 3:26 a.m. on November 13, Japan time. Users were unable to connect to Exchange Online mailboxes, and Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft 365 Copilot were among the other affected services. AWS had experienced EC2 API errors and instance-launch problems in parts of its Tokyo Region from 11:46 p.m. on November 11 until 5:31 a.m. on November 12, Japan time. The incidents therefore occurred in separate time windows, despite some overseas media reports associating them.
AWS’s Tokyo Region incident had been resolved by 5:31 a.m. on November 12, according to the article. The Microsoft 365 disruption was still described as ongoing in the report; its resolution time was not disclosed. AWS’s statement addressed the accuracy of reporting about its own service status and characterized the Microsoft 365 outage as unrelated to the earlier AWS incident.
