The US cloud and IT security company continues to see many of its products and services having issues today after power outages across a number of data centers caused multiple shut downs.
Customers first noticed issues on Thursday when Cloudflare’s dashboard and key application programming interface (API) services were taken down. A few hours later the company reported “Cloudflare is assessing a loss of power impacting data centers while simultaneously failing over services”.
The issues with its API particularly, have a broad impact across a number of its other products and key services, and while some of these have now been restored, many are still offline or operating with “degraded availability”.
Cloudflare said the outage was caused by regional power issues that impacted facilities across it’s “multiple redundant data centers in Oregon”. In comments made to the press later in the day, the company confirmed that it had moved over to its disaster recovery facility, and that while the problem impacted many of its main products, traffic through its global network was not effected.
While the company has stated that power to its core US data center has now been partially restored, it also said “Cloudflare has failed over some core services to a backup data center”. As of its latest official system status updates, it is still working to restore effected services.
This is the second such outage to hit the company this week, with Monday also seeing a number of its key products taken down after what was later identified as a problem when updating a key value store for its Workers KV build.
The company operates across a number of different platforms and has several initiatives with other major US Cloud and Infrastructure firms.
The company is expected to release more information on this latest issue when it has been fully resolved.
