We sincerely apologize for any impact this incident has caused to you, your business, and your customers. At Okta trust and transparency are our top priorities. Outlined below are the facts regarding this incident. We are committed to implementing improvements to the service to prevent future occurrences of this incident. Detection and Impact: On February 11, 2025 at 4:02pm PST Okta was alerted through its monitoring systems of a feature rollout failure in US Cell OK14. On February 12th 5:00am PST Okta began to receive reports that users were unable to view or access resources in the Workflows app. The impact was isolated to customers on US Cell OK14. Root Cause Summary: Okta determined that the cause was a cache invalidation issue which prevented additional intended feature rollouts from occurring. This caused subsequent failures in the feature rollout system and resulted in Read Only or limited access for some Workflows users. Remediation Steps: Upon receiving the support cases Okta took action to remediate the situation. Okta redeployed the feature rollout and a manual workaround guide was made available to impacted customers. All functionality and normal processing resumed once redeployment was complete at 8:35am PST February 12th. Preventative Actions: Okta will work to improve our monitoring system in order to ensure cache invalidation does not disrupt deployment sequencing during future releases. Okta will modify the feature rollout system to account for the cache invalidation timeout. Duration (# of minutes): 993 minutes
