  Looks like it may have been AWS or something. All kinds of services were down a moment ago.

    Google have their own data centres (and cloud) so it may be something more in the connectivity area.

      Maybe, I would expect redundancy. But ultimately I have no clue. I just remember the lat time AWS went down. It seemed that a majority of the sites that I used daily were down all in one go.

        Sometimes redundancy doesn’t help when it comes to network traffic routing. That system is based heavily on trust and an incorrect route being published can cause recursive loops and such that get propagated very quickly to everyone.

        There was a case like this a few years back where a bad route got published by a small ISP, claiming they could handle traffic to a certain set of destinations, but then immediately trying to send that traffic back out again (because they couldn’t actually route to that destination), which bounced right back to them because of the bad route. It was propagated based on implicit trust and took down huge chunks of the Internet for a while

        Yeah, they definitely host an unhealthy amount of the internet.

    Infrastructure seems likely, but probably not AWS because it affected Google and Facebook so strongly. If it were AWS you’d see Amazon getting badly affected and AWS itself, followed by everyone who relies on AWS for infrastructure.

      !amateur_radio@lemmy.radio took over and they’re bouncing the signal off the moon

        Bandwidth issues, changed over to carrier pigeons (though now dealing with latency issues).

      That’s my experience with all these services as well

      Ah, wonder if problems contributed to Google Meet hiccups today. Very small, momentary.

  Something is causing this up

  It was the houthis targeting red sea cables, check the news

    I don’t think any major news sources confirm your theory.

      BBC isn’t a major news source? Remember when they say countries do not confirm it’s political. What governments choose to share is up to them and it does not confirm what their intelligence agency actually thinks.
