THESE international news websites not opening in India, know why

In what could be an utter shock to everyone, the international news websites such as The New York Times, The Guardian, CNN International and few others are not opening in India. The sites were showing errors while trying to access.

However, foreign wires websites like Reuters, Associated Press, Bloomberg and AFP are running absolutely fine.

Those news websites which tend to be using services such as CDN provider are mostly experiencing the outage. Even Twitch, PicsArt, BeFunky,  Pinterest, Reddit, The Guardian, and the FT are returning with 503 errors.

Even websites such as Amazon, UK government and Reddit also suffered the outage. Fastly seems to be investigating the issue.

A TechCrunch report said that this kind of outage occurs when an important internet infrastructure service faces a severe issue.

Giving details about the outage about an hour later, the company said: “The issue has been identified and a fix has been applied. Customers may experience increased origin load as global services return.”

“We identified a service configuration that triggered disruptions across our POPs globally and has disabled that configuration. Our global network is coming back online. Continued status is available,” Fastly said.

Down Detector, which tracks internet outages said,  reports indicate there may be a widespread outage at Fastly, which may be impacting your service.
