Apple cloud services outage

  • Days when multiple outages happen always remind me of this wonderful article: http://www.stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks

  • Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems too coincidental that multiple services

    (Amazon, Facebook, Apple... that I know of, so far)

    have been affected, on the same day.

  • Do these things ever go red?

    I mean, I understand the disincentive to do this, but for something like AWS (where error icons are even more subtle than this) I care about accuracy way more than looking scary.

  • ITunes Connect and TestFlight in particular has been an absolute shambles for at least the last 3 months. Nobody there seems to give a shit or take responsibility (ranging from support up thru to the highest levels).

  • Timely..been trying to apply a software update and download garageband for the last hour. Should've checked their status page. Guess, i'll wait it out.

    Any relation between this outage and Amazon's from earlier?

  • I'm also getting some bad outage with Facebook's services. www.messenger.com outputs an error and the facebook website has half the components missing.

  • I noticed my iTunes Cloud music wasn't working earlier. Reminded me how much better all the iCloud stuff has actually gotten over the past 2y.

  • Some poor SREs have a shitty night ahead of them.

  • Docker too.

  • What if they are relying on Docker https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11822562?

  • thank god game center is still up!

  • Could this be related? Today we got an email from Amazon that our EC2 instance server has degraded hardware. We have until June 16 to spin up a new server before they kill this one.

  • We were hit by a few AWS DNS issues over the past few days. Almost certainly a freaky coincidence.

  • So this is why my AppleTV won't connect to Netflix / Hulu right now?

    I want a refund.

  • Might be an Akamai outage.
