Amazon Web Services (AWS) is currently experiencing issues in its North Virginia data center, leading to increased network latency and connectivity errors for US customers. Several popular websites, including Quora, Reddit, and Foursquare, have been affected.

The problems are impacting instances of AWS's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service and its Relational Database Service (RDS). Quora is down and displaying a holding message referencing AWS's EC2 service, indicating that the issue is affecting their hosting.
