Update 1:49pm:  Zoom has failed over to an unaffected region.  Zoom meetings should be working normally now.

Update 1:35pm:  It appears that the initial cause was part of an AWS datacenter losing power.  Zoom seems to be working correctly for us now, but we will continue to monitor the situation. Something has happened to prevent users from connecting to Zoom meetings or receiving updates from Zoom.  This problem is occurring somewhere outside of the NC State network.  We will update with more information when we know it.
