Did other providers have similar issues to Cloudflare? I only noticed cloudflare sites being particularly down, not other CDNs, but maybe that was selection bias?
- longtermdd 6y agoFastly was also down
- EE84M3i 6y agoYoutube and Akamai didn't seem to be.
- tyfon 6y agoYoutube and twitch (which I belive use akamai?) was down for me in Norway. I think there were many routes going haywire and it was different depending on your location.
- nik736 6y agoTwitch is not using Akamai.
- tambre 6y agoYoutube is Google's own global CDN, Twitch is Fastly.
- cbg0 6y agoOnly the main twitch site seems to be using fastly, the streams are powered by AWS' infrastructure as far as I can tell, which would be expected, seeing as how Amazon owns Twitch.
- tyfon 6y agoOddly enough the user interface worked somewhat, it was the streams themselves that failed to load for me (even with mpv+youtube-dl)
- RealStickman_ 6y agoYoutube definitely had problems for me. (Through Mullvad VPN in Switzerland)
- kraftomatic 6y agoISPs often have Youtube and Akamai caches forward deployed to their networks, which would reduce the dependancy on big ISPs. Google also buys a lot of its own international links so it can pair directly with or close to ISPs, so big ISP issues don't affect their services as much.
- ngold 6y agoEverything was going haywire for me except the amazon prime movie i was watching, and it was fine. It was a head scratcher until this mornings news.
- rwky 6y agoI couldn't connect to anything in the US (I'm in the UK) which broke a large chunk of the internet mainly due to being unable to access Cloudfront.
- mcspiff 6y agoThat’s surprising given CloudFront has a decent number of Points of Presence in London/Europe.
