The effects of the massive AWS outage reached the sports world on Monday.

Ticketmaster was dealing with ticket management issues as a result of the outage, according to messages shared by several sports teams hosting games on Monday, including the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Seahawks.

The Blue Jays, facing off against the Seattle Mariners in a Game 7 MLB playoff bout at Rogers Centre in Toronto, posted a statement earlier Monday about the outage and advised fans to “hold off on managing your tickets as we work through this.”

A few hours later, the team said ticket management was returning to normal.

The Seahawks, which are hosting the Houston Texans for Monday Night Football in Seattle, issued a statement about the outage “that may impact access to Ticketmaster, Seahawks Account Manager, and the Seahawks Mobile App.”

The Detroit Lions, hosting their own Monday Night Football game, also had ticketing impacted.

The outage effects went beyond just ticketing. The Premier League said its VAR tech system, used to determine offside calls in soccer, would not be available for Monday’s match between West Ham and Brentford.

Amazon’s outage began shortly after midnight Pacific in Amazon’s Northern Virginia (US-EAST-1) region, which is AWS’s oldest and largest cloud region, a popular nerve center for online services.

In an initial update, AWS said the outage was related to a DNS resolution issue with its DynamoDB product, meaning the internet’s phone book failed to find the correct address for a database service used by thousands of apps to store and find data.

Amazon later said the root cause of the outage was an “underlying internal subsystem responsible for monitoring the health of our network load balancers.”

By 3 p.m. PT, the company said all AWS services had returned to normal operations.

Major sites and services including Facebook, Snapchat, Coinbase and Amazon itself were impacted — reviving concerns about the internet’s heavy reliance on the cloud giant.

The outage suggests that many sites have not adequately implemented the redundancy needed to quickly fall back to other regions or cloud providers in the event of AWS outages.

Previously:

• AWS outage was not due to a cyberattack — but shows potential for ‘far worse’ damage
• AWS outage hits major apps and services, resurfacing old questions about cloud redundancy

MiThe Mitsubishi ASX sold in New Caledonia is not the European model.

Continuing social unrest means New Caledonian new car sales freefall again through September at -23.3% to 2,487 units. Keep in mind the year-ago volume was already off -48.7% on the year prior. Toyota (-41.7%) falls markedly faster than the market, seeing its share reduced to 14%. In contrast Renault (-7.6%) and Suzuki (-13.2%) resist relatively well in context and complete the podium like they did over the Full Year 2024. Hyundai (+1.1%) is the only gainer in the Top 8 and climbs four spots to #4. Dacia (-45.3%) and Peugeot (-30.1%) are hit the hardest below but Mitsubishi (+22.1%) and Subaru (+21.3%) post market-defying surges to close out the Top 10. BAIC (+94.7%), Fiat (+54.2%) and BYD (+15.4%) also impress further down.

Over in the models charts, the Toyota Hilux (-51.6%) stays on top but loses over half its year-ago volume. It is followed this time by the Suzuki Swift (-9.3%) passing the Dacia Duster (-31.5%). The Ford Ranger (+11.8%) is actually up to #4 while the Mitsubishi ASX (+64.5%) and Renault Kangoo (+9.4%) also post year-on-year upticks in the remainder of the Top 10. The Renault Master (-3.4%), Hyundai Tucson (-7.5%) and Suzuki Jimny (-10.3%) resist but the Citroen Berlingo (-28.8%) dives.
