IBM Cloud suffers prolonged outage
The IBM Cloud is currently suffering a major outage, and with that, multiple services that are hosted on the platform are also down.
Best we can tell, this is a worldwide problem and involves a networking issue, but IBM’s own status page isn’t actually loading anymore and returns an internal server error, so we don’t quite know the extent of the outage or what triggered it. IBM Cloud’s Twitter account has also remained silent.
IBM Cloud, which published a paper about ensuring zero downtime in April, also suffered a minor outage in its Dallas data center in March.
