Anyone know if this could be related to the Youtube outage? It's been a while since I've seen these big websites go down.

- bognition 8y agoIn what way? Youtube runs on internal google hardware, GitHub runs on its own hardware too. It could be a networking issue, but you'd expect more sites to be impacted. If it were a software issue, you'd expect a big player like google to be aggressively patching and talking about a bad release. More likely is its just a coincidence.
- danielhlockard 8y agoI'm not sure how you could postulate that they're related
- ObsoleteNerd 8y agoTargeted attacks on specific aspects/assets of a major websites infrastructure? Eg target a specific service that both sites have in common in their back end? Not even sure if that's feasible but it's an idea.
- Memosyne 8y agoI figured it was just a coincidence, but the HN network is so well informed I thought I'd just ask the question on the off-chance it wasn't. I personally don't find a relation likely.
- ObsoleteNerd 8y agoOh I find the relation very unlikely. I was just trying to think up a potential connection for fun/curiosity, as the coincidence is pretty crazy that two huge sites known for very few/little outages had major outages in the same week.
- jpatokal 8y agoGithub is not hosted by Google and was acquired by Microsoft some time back, so that seems... unlikely.
