#12I'm experiencing the same issues with both security.u.c and archive.u.c , status dashboard shows everything operational https://status.canonical.com/
On the other hand `apt-smart --list-mirrors` says that http://archive.ubuntu.com is unavailable. Other than https://github.com/martin68/apt-smart , are there any other tools or best practices to fallback apt mirrors?

#15Not a massive problem for us... can imagine it might be a problem for many though (service agreement or no) - it does annoy me when status pages don't show an accurate status though. Makes me feel like the point of them is just to pretend they care.

#16Not just security, archive.ubuntu and releases.ubuntu as well. Same thing happened Jan 13th. Quick fix is to switch to a mirror: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors EDIT: I'm in Germany.

#18https://status.canonical.com is green across the board, and yet archive.ubuntu.com it has been failing to load packages for a while now.

Meanwhile, large organizations seem to almost universally just have a static page with a bunch of green checks that don't change no matter what.
Maybe I should just serve the status page from within the app, and if you can't reach it that means something is broken! At least then it's providing some information about the state of the system.

#19Most mirrors work, so you should be able recover by updating your `sources.list`. Of course this is a huge pain if you have many machines without centralized configuration management, or if you have tenants with virtual machines.
