Amazon Web Services experienced a significant outage on Monday, affecting numerous major websites including Disney+, Reddit, and United Airlines. Although most services were restored within hours, the outage highlighted the fragility of reliance on major cloud providers, with AWS confirming it was caused by DNS issues related to its DynamoDB service.

Apple has reportedly explored the possibility of creating its own cloud computing service to compete with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This move indicates Apple's interest in expanding its infrastructure capabilities and potentially diversifying its revenue streams. The company is considering how to leverage its existing resources to enter the cloud market effectively.
