Amazon Web Services (AWS) is facing a minor service disruption, according to user reports and monitoring platforms, affecting connectivity and increasing latency in some regions as of February 11, 2026.
AWS is a backbone of global cloud computing, hosting websites, applications, and enterprise systems. Even minor disruptions can ripple across digital services worldwide.
AWS has experienced service interruptions in the past, typically resolved within hours. Its infrastructure spans multiple regions and availability zones to limit impact.
Dr. Maria Chen, cloud computing researcher at Stanford University, said, “Localized latency spikes are expected in distributed systems.”
Tom Reynolds, IT operations director at CloudWatch Analytics, noted, “Even minor slowdowns can affect e-commerce and SaaS platforms.”
AWS engineers are monitoring systems impacts are expected to be temporary. While minor, the disruption underscores the importance of robust cloud architecture and continuous monitoring.
