CloudatCost and Pertino

The Twitter feed is pretty entertaining...

The Twitter people are right. This makes you worry not only that CloudatCost is having problems but it means that Fibernets doesn't have redundancy and is out and, supposedly, that Rogers is out too. Basically a huge chain of dependencies. This doesn't just make you question one company, this makes you question doing business with Canada! It's the entire national infrastructure being called into question here.

The last comment of this is probably the best thing I've ever read!

I am not surprised at all...

I wouldn't use their servers even in a test environment. Maybe a personal lab, but even that isn't worth the constant frustration.

That's what I've decided based on all the down times and having my server not be able to boot. I really want the money back I paid.

Yup, at this point, even lab use is becoming a poor choice. Days of outages, no response at all. Zero response to customers. Too much effort even for a lab.

IT people have good memories and are not lenient on down time. Do this once and it will always be remembered. Do it twice and you will never gain full trust again, do it 3 or more times and its just rather pathetic.
There has been hours of downtime more than 3 times in the past 2-3 months if I am not mistaken?

Sounds right.

I just got the email too. That's a pretty long time to think up "car crash". Where was the email when the outage started?

Maybe they host their own email server. That would certainly explain the long delay.

Car Crash? So there is only one fiber connection.. No failover. I'm sure different providers are taking different routes so it's unlikely to take out multiples. And most fiber is below ground (at least in the US) unless it absolutely has to be run on the poles over a bridge or something.

They do. and it doesn't even have a vaild SSL Cert. It's self-signed. https://mail.cloudatcost.com/mail/

Except the cloud platform is still down.
