DigitalOcean Connectivity Issues
- mattcoles 9y agoProd database deleted again? ;) Bit of a shame to happen so close to the last one.
- rashthedude 9y agoLol
- mdekkers 9y agoAnd the updates from their status channels are a joke.
- notheguyouthink 9y agoThe HN title i clicked said 5 hours, is that true? Holy cow. edit: I guess it is, the Tweet is from 12AM (PST) and it's currently 6AM, yet their status page shows mostly down regions. Though hard to say exactly what the red x means.
- mdekkers 9y agoNot sure why the title was changed. They have been down for about 6 hours now, and people globally are reporting the inability to connect to their droplets. Their status updates are meaningless.
- t3ra 9y agoYep post titled got edited (maybe mods ?)
- ajross 9y agoIndeed, my droplet in SFO2 is still down, apparently for the last seven and a half hours at this point.
- justaaron 9y agomy droplets are all fine, and were running the whole time. the issue seems to be connectivity related, as i can only ssh into most of them, and they've been coming back online in groups...
- piniyini 9y agoWho to use as a backup to DO, is Linode a good choice?
- lykron 9y agoLinode, except for DDoSs, has been incredibly solid.
- sitepodmatt 9y agoAside from the DDOS incidents Linode is generally very solid in connectivity department, but their communication skills when things go wrong leaves a lot of be desired - often their status page is 20+ minutes behind and has omissions. The way they handled communication on security issues was equally poor.
- piniyini 9y agoI'm hoping one or the other will be available at any given time, currently I have 2 droplets with Route53 doing the failover but its still all eggs in one basket. If only we could migrate a backup over to linode/secondary provider would be much easier.
- lykron 9y agoYeah. Nobody is perfect, but Linode's technical features and support makes up for it in my book.
- piniyini 9y agoThanks, I was leaning towards them myself. Will sign up.
- lykron 9y agoFeel free to show some love: https://www.linode.com/?r=a1baa5d9cdf4db262bb748108359572ffe5c6a22 https://www.linode.com/?r=a1baa5d9cdf4db262bb748108359572ffe...
- chrissnell 9y agoThey have updated the status page with more information. Apparently, they had a major power outage that took out multiple redundant power sources.
- ajross 9y agoAt exactly midnight local time at the data center? Something doesn't add up. This is going to be one fun post mortem...
- wkoszek 9y agoMy droplets are still down 5 hours later.
