Amazon being down surely points to something other than Fastly being the cause?

This is one of the things that excites me about IPFS: in a world of decentralized data storage, yes self-hosting and control over your data is nice and all, but serious resilience to most random infrastructure outages is a much bigger deal.

It's still early days, but I'm hopeful that it can provide a real solution to today's CDN centralization.

Why is this a link to the Fastly homepage, where absolutely no information is provided? This is the page that should be linked: https://status.fastly.com

it is starting to show several Degraded Performance tags

> This incident affects: North America (Ashburn (BWI), Ashburn (DCA)). How come we are affected by this in the Netherlands?

They've updated it to >North America (Ashburn (BWI), Ashburn (DCA), Ashburn (IAD)), Europe (Amsterdam (AMS)), and Asia/Pacific (Hong Kong (HKG), Tokyo (TYO), Singapore (QPG)).

Auckland (AKL) is affected but not on the list.

This seems to be impacting a number of huge sites, including the UK government website[0]. [0] https://www.gov.uk/ https://m.media-amazon.com/ https://pages.github.com/ https://www.paypal.com/ https://stackoverflow.com/ https://nytimes.com/ Edit: Fastly's incident report status page: https://status.fastly.com/incidents/vpk0ssybt3bj

Amusingly, the Stackoverflow 503 page has a typo: Error 503 Service Unavailable Service Unavailable Guru *Mediation*: Details: cache-lon4236-LON 1623146049 854282175 Varnish cache server

Looks like an error (typo) with Varnish .. it's the same on multiple sites.

Maybe a good way to work out which versions are being used.

basically the internet is down reddit, stackoverflow, github, paypal, pypi, twitter, twitch, NYT, CNN, BBC, the Guardian... edit: wow, even Amazon.com relies on Fastly for some of its edge caches!

Opened my browser, ad my three major Web pages : github, gitlab.gnome.org and old.reddit.com... They all are down.
