  4. postmortem Dec 13, 2024, 05:08 AM UTC

    ### Errors when uploading documents due to OCR Engine API layer deployment ‌ ### **Summary** An error in the deployment process occurred when making routine updates to the API layer. This update was deployed at 05:35 UTC . While the engines themselves were up and running, users attempting an IDV during this time would not have been able to complete their IDV transaction given the OCR engine directly impacts the uploading of documents. ### **Remediation** The deployment was rolled back and completed at approx 06:40 UTC. ### **Future improvements identified** Our API layer deployment process is currently under review to identify improvements, including further automation, to mitigate against system disruptions. We are also reviewing infrastructure monitoring, including how the notifications flow to impacted customers.

  1. identified Aug 13, 2024, 12:28 AM UTC

    As an unforeseen consequence of routine IDKit infrastructure maintenance between 9:00 PM on August 13th and 1:50 AM AEST on August 14th, we have been made aware of a potential DNS issue for IDKit customers using our API endpoints specifically behind AWS infrastructure. Such customers may be experiencing issues or inability to progress past certain flow stages, especially at the detail check stage with address input and validation. IDVerse technical support and infrastructure teams have investigated and verified that whilst DNS changes have been propagated globally and the product flow stages are currently accessible without error, IDKit clients impacted are instructed to flush their server DNS cache to ensure they are not caching outdated data. IDVerse is presently following up with AWS directly to better understand the nature of this issue Please do not hesitate to contact our support teams for any further questions or concerns

  2. monitoring Aug 13, 2024, 12:46 AM UTC

    Our Infrastructure teams have provided further analysis, noting that we have fully identified that lingering DNS caching inside AWS is the definitive cause of DNS resolution errors for customers trying to call the API from inside the AWS network. The issue is resolving as the cache expires inside AWS. From testing, launching new resources (i.e. replacing the EC2 box) should resolve the issue. The correct NS records for api.au.idkit.com should be as follows: ns-1512.awsdns-61.org. ns-2025.awsdns-61.co.uk. ns-209.awsdns-26.com. ns-857.awsdns-43.net.

  3. resolved Aug 13, 2024, 03:28 AM UTC

    AWS Support have advised IDVerse Infrastructure and Operations teams that they have now flushed the DNS cache of their internal resolvers. Success rates for connections have now dramatically increased. Combined with prior advice, this issue is now considered resolved. Please reach out to IDVerse Support for any further questions or concerns.
