https://easydns.com/blog/2020/07/20/turns-out-half-the-inter... The whole idea of the internet was a distributed network impervious to most attacks. The reality is that a single failure can knock out 90% of the services people use.

There are ten websites left on the internet and they're all hosted by four or so megacorps. Isn't it great?

"I'm old enough to remember when the Internet wasn't a group of five websites, each consisting of screenshots of text from the other four."

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> We're currently investigating potential impact to performance with our CDN services. Guys, you are offline with a 503 error, this is a little more than "potential impact to performance".

Lowkey status reports are the norm now :) "some users may experience degraded service" => site completely down for all locations

Or the AWS typical status of ‘seeing increased error rates on the API’ = us-east-1 is dead

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Oddly their homepage rendering an error was a more accurate description of the problem than "investigating potential impact to performance with our CDN"

Stuff is down across the web, but the most it says is “degraded performance” and in my area it’s all green even though the sites are still down.

All looks orange now, but "degraded performance" is a cheeky way to describe "everything is on fire".

This incident affects: Europe (Amsterdam (AMS), Dublin (DUB), Frankfurt (FRA), Frankfurt (HHN), London (LCY)), North America (Ashburn (BWI), Ashburn (DCA), Ashburn (IAD), Ashburn (WDC), Atlanta (FTY), Atlanta (PDK), Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DAL), Los Angeles (LAX)), and Asia/Pacific (Hong Kong (HKG), Tokyo (HND), Tokyo (TYO), Singapore (QPG)).

Their status page is now saying every location has degraded performance.
