outage

The San Fernando Valley area recently suffered from water outages and has, over the last 12 months, consistently experienced below-average rainfall and drought conditions.

A widespread outage linked to the tech giant’s Amazon Web Services hit many companies early Monday, affecting users of services including Zoom, Slack, Venmo and Instacart.

The carrier says the outage was tied to a failure at its primary data center and that the ground stop caused delays and cancellations.

Separately, Alaska Airlines issued a systemwide ground stop Thursday evening and said it was working to restore operations after a technology outage disrupted its operations, causing delays and cancellations.

The outage marked the second time in recent months that IT issues prevented Alaska Airlines from flying.
