My OVH servers in Canada and Australia are running fine.
My OVH servers in France are all inaccessible.
OVH Incident in Strasbourg

Re: OVH Incident in Strasbourg
#102This affects DNS as well, since domaindiscount24 (a rather large registrar in Germany) happens to host all three of their nameservers with OVH. Just in case you wonder why your sites don't work, even if you host them somewhere else.
This seems like really poor planning on domaindiscount24's part.

#103Earlier quoted context omitted.
So what? Losing main power is a standard case for any DC. That's why you have generators. Even a generator failure is nothing out of the ordinary. But that no generators in a DC work kind of indicates that they don't test them as often as you would expect. They just announced that they want to be a "hypercloud" provider on the scale of AWS and Google Cloud. I really hope that a power failure in Virginia couldn't brin…
When I've seen things like this before, it's often been the switchover hardware that fails, not the generator as such. it's much harder to test that as you don't want to tell your customers "sorry your sever went down, we were just testing if the switchover worked and it didn't"
Exactly that, we too suffered a power loss at our DC that was due to faults in the power supervising and switch-over circuits; we test both generators weekly.

#104Damn, every emergency power supply I have encountered (the big ones with fuel and hundreds of batteries) always fail to start when they have to... Why is that ?

People not actually testing emergency equipment.

Seems to be back up. Quite a large disruption for OVH. Hope we get a postmortem
Re: OVH Incident in Strasbourg
#107Looks like only their routing / network was down. My servers just came back up and haven't experienced any power outage.

#108Title is misleading. Only RBX and SBG were affected. 06:15 UTC SBG serves failed. OVH network weathermap: http://weathermap.ovh.net Btw. First post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15660524
Sorry, i didn't see the time stamps! You where first! :D
Re: OVH Incident in Strasbourg
#109I imagine Mr Good Guy at OVH telling some others: "guys we have a single point of failure in our architecture with SBG, maybe we should... - naaah it's fine, we do not have time nor resources" Then shit happens. edit: I have no idea what is happening exactly, but OVH being what it is, it seems extremely weird that all datacenters "can" get down at the same time, and it looks like a serious architecture problem to me…
its OVH: The Hardware is good DDoS protection is good The Prices are high but support/administration does not work well, i have a lot of really weird story's with them, from them plugging in a keyboard in our server to reboot it (without any reason) to taking down a server for a requested maintenance only to notice after 4 hours of downtime that they did not ask their bosses if they were allowed to even perform the m…

The prices are high? Compared to what? Cheap is their raison d'être.

It would seem an ID of 15660524 would be submitted before 15660556, no?
