Internet Status โ April 21, 2026: Minor Incidents, No Widespread Outage
The global internet is broadly operational today. No major cross-provider outages are in progress, though a handful of smaller incidents and scheduled maintenance windows are being tracked.
Cloudflare is running scheduled maintenance at its Seattle (SEA) and St. Louis (STL) data centers through mid-day UTC, with brief latency increases possible as traffic reroutes. Cloudflare Sites and Zero Trust are currently showing degraded performance, and Cloudflare WARP is in monitoring after a connectivity issue that ended at 06:45 UTC on April 20. See https://www.cloudflarestatus.com for live updates.
AWS is showing a limited, regional operational issue affecting AWS Cloud Map, Amazon ElastiCache, and the AWS Management Console in the UAE region; the rest of AWS is reported operational. Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, GitHub, and OpenAI all report no active incidents at this time.
Recently resolved (past 72 hours): AWS experienced a significant multi-service operational issue centered on a DNS failure on April 18 that briefly disrupted traffic for a number of global services. AWS has since restored normal operations.
Overall: the internet is up, with minor localized incidents worth monitoring but no widespread disruption.
