Internet Status — May 29, 2026: Minor Regional Incidents, Internet Broadly Stable

The global internet is operating normally as of May 29, 2026. Checks across major cloud providers, CDNs, DNS infrastructure, and platform status pages show no widespread, internet-wide disruption. A few localized incidents are worth noting.

Microsoft Azure is investigating a multi-service degradation in its West US 2 region, which began at 04:27 UTC following a datacenter power event. More than 20 services — including App Service, Cosmos DB, Storage, Virtual Machines, and Azure Kubernetes Service — saw increased latency, intermittent connectivity, and timeouts. Microsoft reports mitigation is underway with signs of recovery. The impact is regional rather than global, though some downstream platforms (such as Snowflake) reported knock-on effects.

Cloudflare has applied a fix and is monitoring an issue that caused 502 errors on a subset of Pages uploads (began May 28). Zoom is investigating a minor degradation affecting GIF search and sending in chat on client versions 7.0.0–7.0.4. AWS's Middle East regions (ME-CENTRAL-1 and ME-SOUTH-1) remain impaired following earlier infrastructure damage, with recovery expected to take time; this issue is geographically contained.

Google Cloud, GitHub, OpenAI, Discord, Atlassian, Slack, Vercel, and Fastly all report systems operational. Recently resolved: GitHub cleared elevated error rates on May 28, and brief early-morning blips on ChatGPT (~21 min) and Xbox Live (~72 min) have ended.

Bottom line: a handful of localized provider incidents, but no widespread outage. The internet is up.
