Digital Ocean's network is down?

One of the backbones is having issues. I think over in Level 3 land, again. I'm on Time Warner and unable to reach anything at Rackspace, Facebook, Hotmail, etc.

It's an issue with Level 3. Details here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6576399

My DO based services, which are monitored by Pingdom, are all still showing as up. Internet Traffic Report is showing several routers as down in North America however: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm

There seems to be an issue with the entire Net this morning.

Drudge Report unreachable.

Same for Twitter.

And WordPress dotcom's link to their Amazon S3 image storage is broken too.

Update from https://status.digitalocean.com/ :

  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.

Can ssh into some of the instances (and from there contact all the instances internally), but http/https ports definitely don't work. I think it's only NY1.

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.

As of this posting, https://www.digitalocean.com/login is returning CloudFlare's "Always Online" cache.

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?

I know WordPress dotcom uses Amazon S3 storage for images, so my blog isn't showing any due to this outage.

Amazon apparently also uses its own S3 for images because right now at Amazon none of the product images are showing.

It took a while(5seconds) but it opened for me.

Next time check: http://www.digitaloceanstatus.com/

everyone saying they can't hit certain sites(images on Wordpress/amazon/etc) is actually seeing the affect of their ISP's networks and the CDNs those sites use. Lotta Level3 issues right now. CDNs are often peered as close to the major ISP hubs as possible for speed reasons, but it can unfortunately result in these kind of chained outages. Since a lot of companies pump full site traffic through CDNs, it can appear as them being down.

all the things people are reporting down are working fine for me from the UK.

EDIT: except, I don't have a Digital Ocean NY instance I can try. Those might be down, but their website's fine.

Looks like DO Europe nodes are up.

tumblr seems to be down on my side
