This is OT, but I have a droplet on DO and I'm amazed at the amount of malicious traffic it gets. Is it normal for a very private vps to receive thousands of ssh attempts per hour? I have fail2ban installed and the jail is so busy it's quite astounding. Anyone with more web hosting experience that can weigh in?

We can blame whoever we want but you better believe shit rolls downhill at most places.

Until it is a big enough F-up that an executive's head must roll.

I was always wondering how I can get know proactively if something like this break or some service has an outage. As a result, I have built this tool( http://incidentok.com )

great idea - going to give it a whirl this week. i'm curious about the slack integration. can you provide some more info on what that looks like? eg. just a message in real-time when it goes down? a daily message of statuses? etc. Any sort of customization w/ it? I currently use a soup of zapier zaps to take care of this problem.

This does seem to indicate a notable lack of isolation for the blast radius between DO datacenters. Would be interesting to see the post mortem.

Or just bad rollout procedures.
