All of my NYC hosted sites went down too but they're back up now. I'm not really upset over it and my whole business depends on my sites being up. DO's uptime has been really really good in general. I can't remember the last time everything went down like this in NYC3 over the last ~6 years.

Saw the same thing out of NYC. It seemed to only last a few minutes, I didn't bother to investigate further due to the short duration.

That was a really, really brief downtime. My two sites that were affected were offline for less than five minutes.

I would not call five minutes "really, really brief". Could have been worse, but for some applications, five minutes can be an eternity.

If your application can't cope with five minutes of downtime, I'm sure you're not relying on a single cloud vendor.

Here is a data point: In the last ~90 minutes the external ping tool we use has shown the site changing between accessible then inaccessible 25 times.

I know this is not usually a welcome question but... Why is this flagged?

It seems like legitimately concerning news many HN readers would want to know about, and I only barely caught it before it was banished from the front page. I really can't see a reason.

Yes, I monitor about 1000 servers in Digital Ocean in New York, London and Singapore. Only New York went down for about 1 hour and a couple of hours later the global DNS system in DO went down as well for about 15 min. They initially didn't made any update in their Status page
