Internet Status — May 15, 2026: Online and Stable, With Minor Regional Incidents

The internet is operating normally worldwide today. No major internet-wide outage is in progress. A handful of localized or service-specific incidents are being tracked, none of which amount to widespread disruption.

Amazon Web Services: Minor, localized issues. EC2 connectivity problems were reported in an Asia-Pacific region (ap-southeast-1) on May 15, and a brief Amazon CloudFront DNS resolution issue caused 502 errors on some sites on May 13. AWS posted "multiple services operational issue" notices on May 13 and 14; impact appears limited and largely recovered. Separately, the larger US-EAST-1 thermal-event outage occurred May 7-8 and was resolved last week.

Cloudflare: The core network is healthy. Bot Management is in a degraded state — an over-matching rule issue led Cloudflare to globally disable the affected feature, with a stabilization and review window of roughly 72 hours. Email Routing is also reported as degraded. General end-user web traffic is not broadly affected.

Twilio: Regional SMS delivery delays and failures affecting Thailand, AT&T subscribers in Mexico, and US short codes to Google Voice. These are messaging-specific and geographically limited.

Other minor items: Vercel is investigating a workflow usage-metering miscalculation (billing data only, no service impact); DigitalOcean has scheduled Functions maintenance in its Sydney (SYD1) region; GitHub resolved a brief Actions degradation earlier today.

All clear: Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, OpenAI, Discord, Slack, and Atlassian report no active incidents.

Bottom line: The internet is up. The vast majority of users should see normal service; impact is confined to specific providers, regions, or features.
