OVH Incident in Strasbourg

Re: OVH Incident in Strasbourg
#2Some servers in GRA still appear to work if that's of any help. All data centres offline at once sounds more like an attack than a power failure in one location. According to them, there was a power failure in SBG but I don't see how that should affect routing in data centres several hundred miles away.

EDIT: Maybe related to the Cisco issue?

Maybe an attack related to the recent OVH price increase: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15596282

I think they don't know themselves what works. The CEO said GRA is down while I can access it without issues but that could be depending on where you try to connect from.

Doesn't look like DDOS though, would have to be a targeted attack on the infrastructure.
Their explanation will be really interesting. All those data centres are pretty useless if they have a single point of failure.

It seems more likely that their data centers aren't quite as isolated as they thought they'd be. The outage also appears to be limited to their locations in Europe.

Where did he say GRA was down?
