@jayeshsheta in my case i had to add:

// aws-sdk requires global to exist
(window as any).global = window;

to /src/polyfills.ts
and
"types": ["node"]
to compilerOptions block in /src/tsconfig.app.json

Got this too after resolving #1271.

It seems slightly related to the aforementioned bug.

Temporary hack around seems to be (from StackOverflow) to add something like this to your polyfils.ts

// aws-sdk requires global to exist
(window as any).global = window;

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50264344/aws-sdk-crash-after-updating-from-angular5-to-angular6

Perhaps they changed their polyfills or similar in Angular6 to not include global for you. If indeed you are using Angular 6 as I am.

Are you still encountering this issue? Can you provide additional details if it is still happening for you?
