Nintendo announced on the early morning of December 8 that its Switch network service has been paralyzed on a large scale. As of this writing, it has not been repaired successfully. It is speculated that it may be related to the upcoming Amazon AWS cloud computing service.
AWS refers to Amazon’s cloud computing service system, which can provide cloud servers and computing resources, and is equipped with a variety of high-function services such as network operation optimization technology and IT systems.
