After reeling from technical glitches that prevented many shoppers from accessing bargains on Prime Day, the company's biggest shopping day, the company announced another outage that makes it harder for Amazon Web Services customers to control their usage.

The outage is unusual, and is not a positive sign for the market-leading cloud for hosting applications. Amazon's biggest cloud competitors, Google and Microsoft, also occasionally run into issues affecting availability. It's not yet known whether the two outages are related.
