Alexa, Amazon's digital assistant, was killed on Friday in an involuntary and real reproduction of the company's Super Bowl ad. A regional outage that affects Amazon servers has caused Alexa to stop responding to Echo products and other devices that support the wizard. I tried a simple weather survey at the Echo point in my living room, and the distinctive blue ring remained active for about 15 seconds without an answer. Finally a tone sounded, and Alexa said she had lost the connection. The following attempts also failed, producing a red ring accompanied by Alexa asking me to try it later.
By mid-afternoon, Alexa had returned to normal and was responding to voice commands again. The problem is probably related to Friday's problems with Amazon Web Services. Slack and other applications that rely on AWS as the backbone experienced downtime earlier in the day. "One of the redundant Internet connection points of AWS in Virginia has caused a loss of power that has created connectivity issues for a small number of AWS customers using Direct Connect services on AWS US East," said a door. . Amazon "AWS has solved the problem and is working with its partner to avoid recurrences."
