IX charts are public in Chile by law. Everything looks well except the Telefonica (TIWS) international trunk [1]. It started dropping all traffic at the same time. [1] http://pit.grupogtd.com/default.php?id=1

Are we going to start a betting pool as to why? I put $20 on DDoS, but I'm hedging $5 that someone spilled their drink on something important and quickly got out of there before anyone noticed.

My vote: Bad configuration got pushed.

I thought they had all sorts of crazy canary deployment processes that will automatically stop/rollback the deployment if the failure metrics start increasing?

Medium sized regional AS here: I am looking at a fairly large drop in IX traffic charts for our ports that face the IX, updated every 60s, which directly corresponds in time with the beginning of the Youtube outage. (We are not big enough to have a direct, dedicated peering session with the Google/Youtube AS). At any given time of day 4pm-11pm a huge percent of our traffic is Youtube (or netflix, or amazon video, or…

IX?

Do they encrypt the server side error stack trace? 500 Internal Server Error Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. If you see them, send them this information as text (screenshots frighten them): APkpgMWbWQ3LvimPoFynDB0W8VeUJ9ECiPcDCm8L0Qiku1I2TbAShWp- taKn-AzOGigwq0sU4oe9mbWb2Bwv4BK37C5xOAL7qm11fHn4L0swqhLk wbcnyKH2HM3AQNf-ucVsolyigJTNKA2SSNUMV…

Yes, they do. Pretty clever idea, I think.

Yes I agree, encrypting the stack trace enable them to share sensitive server side error codes to the client which in return can be easily reported back without having to explain anything or try to decode cryptic custom error messages.

This is fantastic!

Did Google just decided to sunset YouTube?

Hardly anyone uses it. By Google standards, I mean.

Probably because the logs directory filled up...

It saddens me that the link you posted had to leak the OS you're using... (the fact that it happens)

Or maybe I'm using an extension like this, and am pretending to be a Ubuntu+Firefox user so that they get their commission money from Google --> Mozilla, indirectly funding them.
