“They can use the application as usual,” said the company.

Evertec’s electronic payment sending service ATH Movil restored its service after the failure that Amazon continues to mitigate in its Amazon Web Services (AWS) division, which affected multiple businesses and portals that use its server node in the eastern zone. US-EAST-1.

ATH Movil‘s Twitter and Facebook pages had published messages warning of a situation that did not allow the sending of text messages with the verification codes to validate a person’s identity or to complete transactions.

“The service of sending text messages with validation codes from ATH Móvil was restored. They can make use of the application as usual, “said the company on Tuesday night.

AWS is a cloud computing platform that provides application programming interfaces (APIs), programs that facilitate communication between different applications and programs. The breakdown began around 11:30 a.m. and, as of 9:00 p.m., the company had already restored most of its services.

Specifically, AWS reported that several of its APIs were generating an unusual number of errors, and that they also detected physical problems with various communication and network equipment in the server farms that make up the US-EAST-1 node.

These issues caused multiple portals to stop responding or work intermittently, such as Facebook (in some areas), Amazon Prime Music, Amazon Prime Video, Amazon.com, and many others. Elnuevodia.com and Primerahora.com were also affected by the failure.
