Websites of major foreign news outlets such as The New York Times, The Guardian, CNN International, Vox and BBC went down after their cloud services provider, Fastly, suffered a crash. Websites of Amazon, UK government and Reddit also suffered the outage.
Fastly posted on its website that they have identified the glitch and fixed it. Most of the websites are now up and running.
UK Technology Editor at The Guardian Alex Hern tweeted: “A massive internet outage, affecting websites including The Guardian, http://Gov.uk , Amazon, and Reddit has been traced to a failure in a content delivery network (CDN) run by Fastly.”
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.
Other major internet platforms and sites including Amazon, Target, and the UK government website — Gov.uk — were affected.
