Reported Outages

Authentication system outage

Resolved Posted by Michael Sherman on April 03, 2023
Outage start Monday, April 03, 2023 10:06 a.m.
Expected end Monday, April 03, 2023 11:01 a.m.

Update 11:01am: The upstream issue seems to have resolved, and sites are again accessible. We'll be monitoring the situation to see if it remains stable.


Authentication to all sites is currently down due to a failure in our central authentication system.

Existing instances should be unaffected, but users won’t be able to create or modify existing instances.

This seems to be caused by a failure in our upstream DNS provider, we are working with them to get an ETA for resolution.

CHI@IIT currently down

Resolved Posted by Michael Sherman on January 27, 2023
Outage start Friday, January 27, 2023 5:01 p.m.
Expected end Monday, January 30, 2023 5:14 p.m.

CHI@IIT is back up, but we're still waiting for the arrival of replacement hardware. Currently, bringing the site back online requires in-person actions, and so you'll observe instability until said hardware is installed. We plan for this work to be completed by the end of this week, subject to parts availability.

Outage start Wednesday, January 18, 2023 5:35 p.m.
Expected end Tuesday, January 31, 2023 5:11 p.m.

Current status:
Stability issues are resolved, we had observed and fixed deadlocks in both container launches and lease creation, due to an upstream eventlet bug.
Public Floating IPs are now functional again. The network operated by our infrastructure provider was filtering some mac-addresses, which bridged networks from working.
