Short Notice Maintenance Causing Upstream Connectivity Issues in Reading, UK
Tuesday, June 02, 2020 8:36:41 PM CST
Final Update: We have received word from our upstream provider that the issue was caused by the failed deployment of security provisions to their network to prevent harmful traffic. The deployment was successful on some equipment, and that gave a false sense of completion until they were notified that a percentage of their customer base was affected.
In addition, we have established that a longer notice time will be required for maintenance that could be service affecting, and and apologize for any inconvenience that this event has cause for our customers.
Update: Site and service connectivity to the Reading, UK datacenter have been restored. We’re still working with our upstream provider for a root cause for the outage, and will update this post when we have more information on the event.
We are currently monitoring a connectivity severing “Short Term” maintenance task that was initiated by our upstream provider in Reading, UK. We’re also ascertaining what maintenance task’s purpose is, why a “Not Service Affecting” task has severed all connectivity, and why this task was performed at such short notice.
Updates on this incident will be issued in this status. Please bear with us during discovery, and thank you for your patience.
