Amazon’s cloud unit said on Thursday it is working to restore normal temperature levels at its Northern Virginia data center, which has impacted trading on Coinbase and other websites.
“We are observing early signs of recovery. We continue to work towards restoring temperatures to normal levels and bring impacted racks back online in the affected Availability Zone (use1-az4) in the US-EAST-1 Region,” Amazon Web Services said in a status update on Friday at 5:11 am UTC.
The outage has notably impacted crypto exchange Coinbase, which said customers were experiencing “degraded performance.” FanDuel, an American gambling company, said it was also impacted.
The outage has led to some Coinbase customers being unable to transact on the web and mobile. Coinbase said its teams are working to restore functionality and that customer funds are safe.
“We will begin the process to re-enable trading on our markets shortly,” Coinbase said. “All markets would be placed in ‘Cancel Only’ mode before we move to re-enable trading.”
