Internet Status — July 9, 2026: Minor Incidents, No Widespread Outage
The internet is operating normally overall on July 9, 2026, with no widespread or internet-wide outage. A handful of localized, single-provider incidents are worth noting.
GitHub Actions is seeing the most notable disruption: roughly 30% of Actions runs on GitHub-hosted runners are experiencing start delays exceeding five minutes, and a smaller share are failing to start after exhausting retries. GitHub has been investigating since 04:34 UTC and the incident remains open as of 10:15 UTC. Core GitHub services (repositories, pull requests, web) are unaffected (githubstatus.com).
Other minor and regional issues:
Core cloud and CDN infrastructure is healthy: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Akamai, Fastly, Discord, Slack, Atlassian, Vercel, DigitalOcean and Stripe all report normal operations. No BGP, DNS, or undersea-cable incidents are affecting the broader internet.
Recently resolved (past 72 hours): Akamai edge-delivery issues in Pakistan tied to submarine-cable problems (resolved Jul 4), and several DigitalOcean regional incidents (resolved Jul 3–7).
Bottom line: the internet is up. Expect intermittent CI/CD delays if you rely on GitHub-hosted Actions runners until that incident clears.
