Amazon.com blamed human error for an outage on Tuesday at its cloud-services unit that caused widespread disruption to internet traffic across the U.S.. In a post on its website, Amazon said the outage started with a typo its North Virginia data center. An employee trying to speed up the company’s S3 cloud-storage billing system tried to take a few servers offline. He mistyped the command, and affected more servers than intended. That led to a cascade of failures that knocked out S3 and other Amazon services.
