I became aware of the disruption through various Internet postings and looked it up at downdetector.com. Shortly after 2:00 p.m., users reporting AWS issues, which is still continuing.
Amazon AWS down (Nov. 25, 2020)
The Amazon Health Dashboard writes about increased error Rates. Below is the current excerpt from the dashboard, although this probably cannot be updated.
Increased Error Rates
12:15 PM PST: We continue to work towards recovery of the issue affecting the Kinesis Data Streams API in the US-EAST-1 Region. We also continue to see an improvement in error rates for Kinesis and several affected services, but expect full recovery to still take up to a few hours.
The issue continues to also affect other services, or parts of these services, that utilize Kinesis Data Streams within their workflows. While features of multiple services are impacted, some services have seen broader impact and service-specific impact details are below. We continue to work towards full recovery.10:47 AM PST: We continue to work towards recovery of the issue affecting the Kinesis Data Streams API in the US-EAST-1 Region. For Kinesis Data Streams, the issue is affecting the subsystem that is responsible for handling incoming requests. The team has identified the root cause and is working on resolving the issue affecting this subsystem.
The issue also affects other services, or parts of these services, that utilize Kinesis Data Streams within their workflows. While features of multiple services are impacted, some services have seen broader impact and service-specific impact details are below.9:52 AM PST: The Kinesis Data Streams API is currently impaired in the US-EAST-1 Region. As a result customers are not able to write or read data published to Kinesis streams.
CloudWatch metrics and events are also affected, with elevated PutMetricData API error rates and some delayed metrics. While EC2 instances and connectivity remain healthy, some instances are experiencing delayed instance health metrics, but remain in a healthy state. AutoScaling is also experiencing delays in scaling time due to CloudWatch metric delays. For customers affected by this, we recommend manual scaling adjustments to AutoScaling groups.
Currently Impacted Services: ACM, Amplify Console, API Gateway, AppMesh, AppStream2, AppSync, Athena, AWS Signer, Batch, CodeArtifact, CodeGuru Profiler, CodeGuru Reviewer, CloudFormation, CloudMap, CloudTrail, Cognito, Connect, DynamoDB, Elastic Beanstalk, EventBridge, IoT Services, Lambda, LEX, Macie, Managed Blockchain, Marketplace, MediaLive, MediaConvert, Personalize, RDS Performance Insights, Rekognition, Resource Groups, SageMaker, Support Console, and Workspaces.

Techcrunch has published within this article some tweets on the topic. Also there you can find the confirmation from Amazon that AWS is facing a service disruption.
