Yes.[1] Looks like AWS US-WEST-2 lost some internal connectivity within the data center. "12:13 PM PDT We continue to investigate the issue affecting network connectivity within a single Availability Zone (usw2-az2) in the US-WEST-2 Region. While we continue to work towards root cause, we believe that the issue is affecting connectivity to Network Load Balancers from EC2 instances, connectivity from Lambda to EC2 instances and other AWS services, as well as connectivity between EC2 and some AWS services using PrivateLink. In an effort to further mitigate the impact, we are shifting some services and network flows away from the affected Availability Zone to mitigate the impact."

This is taking out sites that use multiple, interconnected AWS services. Doordash, PS network, parts of Second Life, Intuit Quickbooks...[2]

AWS has connection issues in west (Oregon)


Does PSN use AWS? From the reports on twitter, it looks like it's more than just USA that's down. I'm in Canada, but see some reports of it not working in Europe as well.
