Means they need a more resilient network of providers.

Hey Everybody!
Aman here from Cloudatcost.
As many of you already know, we are currently having an issue with an upstream provider at our data center. Our technicians are working on this.
I will keep you all updated with any information I receive.

Thanks for letting us know Aman, in the intro video you posted a bit ago it mentioned you had redundant upsteam providers. Did something not flip over correctly?

Any status on the failover? Why did one carrier bring down the entire business?

It's still down http://mangolassi.it/topic/4116/cloudatcost-currently-offline/50?page=3

I was wondering about feedback on why a single ISP failure took down the entire cloud rather than failing over to another ISP. I would expect a few seconds disruption and slower performance, not an outage from just Rogers being offline.

I see the SBC Global link has started responding again, sounds like that is the start of repairs getting done.

With this much wide spread outage I'm wondering if it was an attack on the backbones rather than someone cutting fiber

That certainly seems possible.
-
Rogers is stating that the issues are power related.
-
But it appears that the outage is spreading east. Maybe the outages are not related?
-
Dunno, I'd be surprised if they didn't have both UPS and large Natural Gas (connected to underground lines so little limit on run time) Generators on the backbone.

One would sure hope. Although if they had an issue post-UPS, like a short or a fire, it could cause a power-based outage even with those things in place. But that would be pretty dramatic.
But I agree, an extended outage like this suggests that this is a cover up and not what actually happened.

Looks as though they tried to go to a backup this morning. No updates in a very long time.

Probably what happened was that the BGP route to C@C was dropped, hence the rest of the network gave up on trying to get it to the destination. This happens when a published route path goes down, e.g. fiber cut into the locale. That's why we were seeing it drop within our own ISP's network, because there was no published route to them. Once the circuit was back up, the BGP routing was fixed and it sent the traffic onto the backbones.
Although I'm seeing the same thing right now on TWC, haven't checked AT&T.

@thecreativeone91 How the heck could Rogers be down all freaking day and only now get around to effing dispatching someone?

On SBC / AT&T here.

Yeah it just doesn't make sense if it was only a hardware issue they would have fixed it long ago. Heck they probably have alerts on it and know before anyone else does that it's down.
