(Reuters) -A major outage disrupted Amazon's cloud services on Tuesday, temporarily knocking out streaming platforms Netflix and Disney+, Robinhood, a wide range of apps and Amazon.com Inc's e-commerce website as consumers shopped ahead of Christmas.

"Many services have already recovered, however we are working towards full recovery across services," Amazon said on its status dashboard https://status.aws.amazon.com.
