Multiple Digital Ocean services down

[showerst]

I use DO's load balancers in a couple of projects, and they don't list Cloudflare as an upstream dependency anywhere that I've seen. It's so frustrating to think you're clear of a service then find out that you're actually in their blast radius too through no fault of your own.

It is mentioned in their list of subprocessors: https://www.digitalocean.com/trust/subprocessors

I find stuff like this all the time, railway.com recently launched an object storage service, but it's simply a wrapper for wasabi buckets under the hood, and they don't mention this anywhere... not even the subprocessors page https://railway.com/legal/subprocessors - customers have no idea they are using wasabi storage buckets unless they dig around the dns records. so i have to do all this research to find upstream dependencies and go subscribe to status.wasabi.com alerts etc.

dig b1.eu-central-1.storage.railway.app +short

s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com.

eu-central-1.wasabisys.com.

slight off topic: I used DO LBs for a little while but found myself moving away from that toward a small droplet with haproxy or nginx setup. Worked much better for me personally!

[bbss]

Regional LBs do not have Cloudflare as an upstream dependency.

[jsheard]

They don't name names but it's probably due to the ongoing Cloudflare explosion. I know the DigitalOcean Spaces CDN is just Cloudflare under the hood.

[matt-p]

Just spaces CDN, not spaces - you'd think they'd just turn the CDN off for a bit.

[TechRemarker]

Yes all sites showing the CloudFlare error due to the massive outage. Seems their outages are getting more frequent and taking down the internet in new ways each time.

Man, it really seems like the cloud providers are having some tough times lately. Azure, AWS, and Cloudflare! Is everything just secretly AWS?

[archerx]

I have two projects on DO using droplets and they are still running fine.

[soheilpro]

Droplets are fine.

> This incident affects: API, App Platform (Global), Load Balancers (Global), and Spaces (Global).

[hshdhdhj4444]

It seems mostly a CludFlare related issue.

My DOs are working fine as well.

[giancarlostoro]

So yesterday Azure got hit hard, today CF and DO are down, bad week or something else?

[watermelon0]

Azure DDoS event happened in October. Blog post about the attack was published yesterday, and was quickly picked up by news sites.

[matt-p]

DDOS, but I don't really understand why in particular.

[BubbleRings]

I would also like to know people’s opinion on this.

Year-end promotion cycle is the worst time for end-users and the best one for engineers greedy for promotions.

[igtztorrero]

I knew it, DigitalOcean CDN is using Cloudflare behind the scenes. Why DO ?

[aforty]

Cloudflare outage.

[mrkramer]

Who is next?

[red-iron-pine]

my guesses would be look at who has a FedRAMP capable service first.

maybe also GCP, hetzner, akamai
