Huh... Not the best source really. It took >30 minutes between I got an alert from the monitoring service and an update appearing on the status site.
Drudge Report unreachable.
Same for Twitter.
And WordPress dotcom's link to their Amazon S3 image storage is broken too.
Networking Issue in NY1 Facility
At this time, we are currently investigating an issue in our NY1 facility.
We are working to determine the exact cause/resolution of
the issue and will provide details as soon as they
become available.I realised, it would be great for cloudflare to optionally allow us to show a better 'down' page for non-static sites like dashboards etc. Right now it's showing the same page with a bar on top (and obviously login etc won't work), ideally it would show a static page where we could explain something is wrong, without login boxes etc.
I just got woken up by two of our boxes being unreachable, but one of my other boxes is up, so maybe it's just affecting one of their datacenters?
Amazon apparently also uses its own S3 for images because right now at Amazon none of the product images are showing.
EDIT: except, I don't have a Digital Ocean NY instance I can try. Those might be down, but their website's fine.
