Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers experienced service interruptions yesterday as the company struggled to fight off a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
As part of such an assault, attackers attempt to flood the target with traffic, which would eventually result in the service being unreachable.
While customers were complaining of their inability to reach AWS S3 buckets, on its status page yesterday the company revealed that it was having issues with resolving AWS Domain Name System (DNS) names.
