Internet Status โ May 6, 2026: Minor incidents at Cloudflare; broadly stable
The internet is broadly stable today. Major cloud platforms โ Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and OpenAI โ all report normal operations, and no internet-wide BGP incidents or undersea cable disruptions are currently being reported.
A handful of minor, contained issues are worth noting:
โข Cloudflare Bot Management: Two specific bot-detection rules (IDs 50331648 and 50331649) had been matching traffic unexpectedly since April 1. Cloudflare has disabled the affected feature; detections are expected to stabilize over the next 48 hours.
โข .de domain DNSSEC validation: Cloudflare has temporarily disabled DNSSEC validation for .de domains on its 1.1.1.1 public resolver, due to signing problems at DENIC, the German domain registry. Validation will resume once DENIC confirms its issues are resolved.
โข Cloudflare Access audit logs: A backlog of audit logs from April 28โ29 is still being ingested. No data was lost.
โข AWS Middle East (UAE) region: Third-party trackers report partial issues affecting AWS IoT Core, Amazon MQ, and AWS Transit Gateway in the UAE region. Impact is regional, not global. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud status pages otherwise show all services operational.
โข Scheduled maintenance: Cloudflare has maintenance windows today in its Minneapolis (MSP) and Sydney (SYD) datacenters that may cause minor latency increases for users in those regions.
Overall, the internet is up.
