Subject: Fastly failure: Websites and apps around the world go dark
By Jordan Valinsky and David Goldman: CNN Business 6/8/2021
Countless websites and apps around the world went down for about an
hour Tuesday after Fastly, a major content delivery network, reported
a widespread failure.
Fastly supports news sites and apps like CNN, the Guardian, the New
York Times and many others. It also provides content delivery for
Twitch, Pinterest, HBO Max, Hulu, Reddit, Spotify and other
services. The outage took down other major internet platforms and
sites, including Amazon, Target, and the UK government website
- Gov.uk.
The problem was caused by an outage at Fastly, a cloud service
provider. The company said on its service status website (which was
working) Tuesday morning it had identified the problem and fixed the
issue. Service for sites and apps started to be restored around 7
a.m. ET, although Fastly said some customers may experience longer
load times as a residual effect of the problem.

Yes, it's a month old. No, I don't know why I didn't find it
before. C'est la vie.
