Instagram uses Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud which has been affected by the storms.
Instagram was recently part of an acquisition made by Facebook. Facebook is not affected by the outage and the query is whether Instagram will now move to the same base as that of Facebook.
Washington and its area continue to suffer from a heat wave which has already taken two lives.
