My Mac started telling me that I need to update Apple ID settings about 30 minutes ago, but when I click "Continue", System Settings freezes and can't be closed. I think it's because gsa.apple.com isn't responding. When I ping that address, it resolves to Akamai, which makes me wonder if this is an Apple outage or Akamai outage. Neither company's status dashboard reports any issues right now.

My guess: an Apple outage, if it was Akamai there would be a lot more services impacted.

And that only shows that the DNS is Akamai, the IP itself is Apple's
