3. identified Feb 24, 2026, 04:28 PM UTC

   F5 has identified the cause for the access issues to the Distributed Cloud Console. We are actively working to resolve the cause of this issue, we have seen intermittent recovery but consider this impact to still be ongoing. Traffic and Services remain unimpacted.

4. monitoring Feb 24, 2026, 04:53 PM UTC

   A fix has been implemented to address the cause of the Distributed Cloud Console access issue. Console access has been restored. Users may continue to experience some intermittent slowness while the system fully stabilizes. Customer traffic and services remain unaffected. Our internal teams continue to monitor the environment closely to ensure full performance recovery. We will provide additional updates as needed.

5. resolved Feb 24, 2026, 06:25 PM UTC

   F5 has mitigated the Distributed Cloud Console service interruption. Users can connect to the Distributed Cloud Console and all other services are operating normally. We will continue the proactive monitoring to ensure the stability of our services. The service interruption was caused by an out-of-memory (OOM) condition triggered by a period of anomalous traffic patterns. To ensure immediate stability, we have scaled our memory resources to accommodate the increased load. The F5 Distributed Cloud team is currently investigating the underlying traffic behaviour and workings towards a comprehensive permanent resolution.
