Oracle Cloud is having a major outage
https://ocistatus.oraclecloud.com/#/
I had to confirm the outage based on community reported down detector.
https://downdetector.com/status/oracle-cloud/
All of our services, instances and backups for https://searchadsoptimization.com are in Oracle cloud.
This shows a critical issue when relying on a single Cloud provider. It's time to build a cross cloud infrastructure design to handle these issues.
Update: It looks like they have updated their “real time” status page after good 25 minutes of severe outage. My trust and assumptions with real time status pages changed completely.
I don't understand the point of real time status pages if they are clearly not real time and not accurate.
My error notifications were blowing up my phone, the first thing I did is check their status page and assumed issue is within my application, and I couldn't even access my backend application. Out of desperation, I had to check downdetector to confirm the issue. I have formed new respect for downdetector.
