Multiple websites operated by news outlets including the Financial Times, CNN, and Bloomberg News were down across the globe on Tuesday with some reports pointing to a glitch at U.S.-based cloud computing services provider Fastly. Quora, Shopify, and Vimeo were some of the other websites facing the outage. Major websites facing outage are returning nearly 503 errors, as per the report, with Fastly appearing in some of them. According to an Engadget report, while some websites are returning 503 errors, only images are affected on sites such as Twitter and Amazon. Nearly 21,000 Reddit users reported issues with the social media platform, while more than 2,000 users reported problems with Amazon, according to Downdetector.com. In India, it has impacted services in Chennai, Mumbai, and New Delhi.
“We are continuing to investigate this issue,” San Francisco-based Fastly said on its status website, referring to the incident as a “Global CDN Disruption”.
“The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented,” Fastly said at 4.14 pm IST. About 13 minutes later, the company said that customers “may experience increased origin load as global services return”.
