A cloud outage and disruption that rocked Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and other services continued to wreak havoc Friday morning, more than 24 hours after the Amazon cloud outage was first noticed.

Amazon Web Service EC2 experienced outages and interruptions in its North Virginia region starting early Thursday morning. The outages caused some major Web sites that are Amazon EC2 cloud customers to experience hiccups or to be knocked off line. Some major Amazon customers like Foursquare, HootSuite, Quora and Reddit took the biggest hit, while a host of other sites also struggled to maintain service due to the outage.
