The heavy traffic is due to sports events - champions league last-16 matchday live streaming: Bayern Munich vs. Liverpool, FC Barcelona vs Olympique Lyon. The heatmap matches the clubs' home countries UK, Germany, France & Spain quite well. Dont conflate that with fb/insta problems.
Indeed. The games are streamed like crazy! Lots of streams are in HD.
Could this be related to the storm? I was out shoveling, and came back in to my phone blowing up. Our systems at IronMountain (formerly Fortrust) in Denver all rebooted at once. These are all on redundant power, each systems redundant power supplies connecting to different circuits entering the cabinet, and those two circuits fed from 3 PDUs (two separate, one share). Each of those is supposed to be fed by a separate…

They do run quarterly 'storms' where a datacenter is shut down to test failover and resiliency. I have no idea if today is one of those days, since I left last year.
