I generally do everything on AWS or GCP, with a little Azure sometimes for personal projects. In what world does IBM beat one of those three in anything? Generally curious - how they are able to stay competitive?
IBM Cloud was down, as well as their status page

Re: IBM Cloud was down, as well as their status page
#12My side project StatusGator monitors status pages (including IBM's ill-fated page) and I'm seeing more than 10% of the nearly 800 services we monitor having an outage right now.
So it appears to affect anyone who depends on IBM Cloud.
Re: IBM Cloud was down, as well as their status page
#13Maybe they should also shut down their cloud.
Re: IBM Cloud was down, as well as their status page
#14wonder if we'll ever get a post-mortem about this... Seems to be global
Maybe. About 3/4 of all outages get a post mortem. There's 1/4 of the time they refuse to tell us anything.

#15Seems pretty dumb to host a status page in a way that it could go down, when it should be a static page that is trivially hosted on CDN's worldwide.

#16All of Broadcastify's audio servers (hosted with Softlayer in their Dallas datacenter) are completely unreachable and down.
I'm going to wait a bit to see if we get a status update, otherwise we'll be spinning up instances on AWS to failover (which will be enormously costly for bandwidth)
No status, no nothing, we're in the dark.

#17Also still no communication from IBM that anything is wrong.
Account managers are texting, but they have no VPN access right now.

#18Ah, is this the exception that proves the rule that "no one was ever fired for buying IBM?"
Sorry to be glib, I'm sure it's a tough time for people who were sold on their cloud platform and work on it!

They had bare metal before Packet or AWS and inter-region traffic is free.
Re: IBM Cloud was down, as well as their status page
#20How sure are we that this outage is limited to IBM cloud?
Pindom[1] had a spike of website outages from 11k => 27k.
