On October 23, 2026, from 15:47 to 18:43 UTC, an outage at a connectivity provider congested the links between Cloudflare’s Ashburn and Atlanta data centers, degrading services with no direct connection to that provider. For anyone who depends on a CDN or a cloud, the lesson is plain: redundancy is verified, never assumed.
