Cloudflare Regional Incidents
No widespread internet disruption today. The major cloud, CDN, and platform providers are largely operating normally, though a handful of regional and service-specific incidents are open.
Active incidents
Cloudflare is monitoring two minor regional incidents: increased errors for Durable Objects and downstream services in Indonesia (opened 13:49), and network performance issues in India (opened 12:01). Both are classified as minor and are in the monitoring stage. A planned maintenance window at the Chicago (ORD) facility is also in progress. Source: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

AWS Middle East (UAE), region me-central-1, remains impaired, and AWS continues to advise customers to run workloads in other regions. This is a long-running condition dating back to the March 1 physical damage to two of the region's three availability zones, not a new development today. All other AWS regions are operating normally.

Resolved in the past 72 hours
Fastly resolved a global CDN performance impact spanning August 19 and 20 that affected multiple POPs, during which some purge requests were lost between 17:02 and 23:24 UTC. A separate reduced cache performance issue affecting Compute customers was also resolved earlier today.
GitHub resolved a significant 7 hour 47 minute degradation on August 17 that caused elevated errors and latency across Issues, Pull Requests, APIs, Actions, and Copilot, peaking near 20 percent web and API error rates. GitHub attributed it to load balancer network saturation in its Central US datacenter combined with a sidecar pod that failed to scale.
DigitalOcean cleared an August 19 issue in its MKC1 region affecting GPU Droplets. AWS resolved elevated EC2 instance launch errors in a single London (eu-west-2) availability zone on August 19. Cloudflare also resolved network performance degradation in Singapore and elevated error rates in its Chicago region.
Operating normally
Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, GitHub, Discord, Atlassian, Vercel, Heroku, DigitalOcean, Zoom, Stripe, and X all report all-clear. Crowd-sourced outage report volumes show no unusual spikes, and we identified no significant BGP routing or DNS incidents.
Bottom line: the internet is up. Today's open issues are regional or service-specific rather than internet-wide.
