A global widespread outage involving Amazon Web Services early Monday took down several major websites and applications, including Canvas, the learning management system used by Mississippi State University students and faculty.
According to AP News, the first signs of website trouble occurred at 2:11 a.m. Monday morning.
Canvas, which relies on Amazon’s cloud infrastructure, is inaccessible for many users across the country. Several MSU students and faculty report being unable to log in.
According to DownDetector, a website that tracks website outages, other major services — including Hulu, Ring, Reddit, Slack, Playstation Network and Life360 — temporarily experienced outages but came online early this morning.
YikYak, the anonymous social media app for college students, also experienced an outage.
