Slack, AWS, and other websites appear to be experiencing outages

• Several major websites were experiencing outages and issues Tuesday morning. 
• Slack, AWS, Peloton, and GitHub are among the platforms affected.
• The cause of the issues was not immediately clear. 

Users were reporting trouble operating workplace messaging system Slack and other websites Tuesday morning.

AWS, Peloton, Github, and AWS are also seeing issues, according to user reports on Down Detector.

The cause of the issues, and if they were connected, was not immediately clear. 

Slack told Insider its "teams are aware of and are investigating the issue." Amazon did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

AWS, Amazon's web-hosting subsidiary, supports large parts of the internet and can take them down with it when it experiences these kinds of outages.

The application saw three outages in December, a large one of which caused problems for Slack, Coinbase, and other services.

Many were making jokes on Twitter around the outages, especially in regards to Slack, which can cause a sort of "snow day" for many professionals when it loses functionality.
