Previous Updates in reverse chronological order

UPDATE 2025-02-11 10:00

• Still investigating the DNS issue. We sent out a notifier to all potentially affected customers.

UPDATE 2025-02-11 11:15

• We have used the time since the last update to narrow down the root cause of the incident. We excluded some possibilites but did not find the root-cause. We are now preparing a partial rollback to downgrade the SDN again.

• We are investigating further

UPDATE 2025-02-11 12:25

• We’re exploring further downgrade approaches (previous rollbacks were, as announced, partial) and are in parallel investigating further.

UPDATE 2025-02-11 13:00

• As we originally updated the SDN due to a critical security gap, it was decided that we will not perform a full OVN/SDN rollback to the initial state.
• We have now activated several teams who will be developing and evaluating different solutions until 1.30 pm. An update on how we proceed will follow then.

UPDATE 2025-02-11 13:50

• Our Teams will continue developing and evaluating solutions in break out session as there are further leads but no breakthrough, yet.

UPDATE 2025-02-11 15:30

• Our teams investigation in SDN traffic loss is ongoing
• Our teams continue developing and evaluating solutions and possible workarounds
• In parallel we are evaluating a rebuild of the SDN (software defined network)

UPDATE 2025-02-11 17:47

• Part of the services are still not functional
• We are still working hard to resolve the issues but we will roll back the update of the SDN if no progress is made.
• The planned maintenance period begins today, 11 February 2025, at 23:00 and is expected to last until around 06:00 CET on 12 February 2025, during which time there may be repeated interruptions to services.
• The maintenance is also announced via notifier. You will get an info of the end of the maintenance also via notifier.

UPDATE 2025-02-11 20:15

• IAM, Alloy and Observability as a Service are restored to full functionality
• The Database as a Service API has also been restored, but the API still has some issues which are related to the wider SDN problem. The Databases themselves were at no point affected by the incident.

UPDATE 2025-02-11 23:00

• The situation with the API improved. We will continue watching it.

UPDATE 2025-02-12 10:15
