Cloudflare Outage Update: Cloudflare says the problem has now been fixed

Today afternoon, several internet users including The Hans India reported problems accessing websites. It was caused due to an outage at CDN (content delivery network) provider Cloudflare. Cloudflare shared that it had identified the problem and executed a fix.

Cloudflare shared:

"Earlier today Cloudflare saw an outage across parts of our network. This was not the result of an attack. A network change in some of our data centers caused a portion of our network to be unavailable. Due to the nature of the incident, customers may have had difficulty reaching websites and services that rely on Cloudflare from approximately 0628-0720 UTC. Cloudflare was working on a fix within minutes, and the network is running normally now.

Given Cloudflare's scale and the percentage of the Internet that relies on our network, when we have problems it is vital that we are open and transparent about what happened, why it happened, and what we're doing to ensure it doesn't happen again. We will release a post-mortem later today on our blog."

"The incident impacts all data plane services in our network," the company added.
