Instagram network is down

Instagram network is down. Many celebrities are tweeting why the instagram is not working for a couple of hours already.



Because of storms in North Virginia, power outages have impaired Amazon Web Services data centers in the region tonight, which means no Pinterest, Instagram, Netflix, Heroku and other sundry AWS-dependent services for you.



According to the report from Techcrunch, as of 9.34AM GMT (1.34AM Pacific), selected services running through Amazon’s North Virginia servers are back up. Instagram still appears to be down, though.

Also: this outage is just covering users in North America. Users in Europe, Asia and South America should still be fine. We’ll keep checking and updating.
