The internet is operating normally today. No global or internet-wide disruption is in progress, and all major cloud, CDN, and platform providers report their core services as operational.
**What is active right now**
A small number of minor, localized issues are open:
**Cloudflare — Paris (CDG):** Cloudflare is investigating higher-than-normal latency for a subset of traffic transiting its Paris data center. Impact is described as slight. Cloudflare is also still investigating degraded availability for some Workers AI models, an issue open since mid-June. ([status](cloudflarestatus.com))**Akamai:** An issue affecting Application Load Balancer reporting, which began July 16, is in monitoring. A fix is in place and Akamai reports no recurrence. ([status](akamaistatus.com))**Twilio:** Degraded SMS carrier performance continues in parts of Latin America, APAC, and Europe, including delivery delays on specific carriers in Brazil, Russia, and Myanmar. ([status](status.twilio.com))None of these are expected to be noticeable to most users.
**Recently resolved (past 72 hours)**
**AWS CloudFront** suffered a roughly 3.5-hour partial outage on July 16, beginning at 12:45 AM PDT. Customers using VPC Origins saw widespread HTTP 5xx errors, taking a number of well-known sites and services offline. AWS attributed it to an internal connection-management limit in the fleet handling private VPC origins: once that threshold was reached, routing configuration failed to load correctly on the network processors. Full recovery was confirmed at 5:21 AM PDT. ([AWS Health Dashboard](health.aws.amazon.com))**Google Cloud** resolved a 12-hour, 28-minute outage in europe-west4-a caused by a cooling failure, affecting VMware Engine, NetApp Volumes, and Bare Metal Solution. Closed July 16. ([status](status.cloud.google.com))**GitHub** logged a REST API degradation traced to an infrastructure change that incorrectly marked API backends as unhealthy. Resolved; all systems operational. ([status](githubstatus.com))**DigitalOcean** resolved a Reserved IP routing issue in TOR1 on July 16. ([status](status.digitalocean.com))**All clear**
Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Fastly, GitHub, OpenAI, Discord, Atlassian, Slack, Zoom, Vercel, Heroku, DigitalOcean, and Stripe all report normal operations. Crowd-sourced trackers show no meaningful spikes. No BGP hijacks, route leaks, DNS failures, or submarine cable faults are being reported.
**A note on sources:** Downdetector, Cloudflare Radar, and ThousandEyes blocked automated checks this run, so this report is based primarily on official provider status pages plus secondary crowd-sourced signals. Nothing in the available data suggests those sources would change the assessment.
**Bottom line:** The internet is up. A handful of small regional issues are being worked, and the most significant recent incident — the AWS CloudFront disruption — is fully resolved.
