Amazon indicated on its website its web service platform was up and running again.

This latest outage comes after Amazon Web Services went down last week, impacting websites and services for universities, governments and companies.

Amazon said the outage was likely due to issues related to application programming interface, which is a set of protocols for building and integrating application software.
