- postmortem Aug 31, 2022, 05:27 PM UTC
We have been provided an RCA from our PaaS provider. ”Between August 23, 2022 17:54UTC and August 24, 2022 03:33UTC, our customers experienced DNS resolution failures in all regions of Private Spaces and Common Runtime. We sincerely apologize for the negative effects our customers experienced A failure originating with our upstream DNS provider began at 17:54 UTC. This failure initially caused DNS propagation delays for new apps and newly added custom domains, deteriorating at 23:30 UTC, when existing applications also could not complete DNS resolution. The failure was detected automatically by our monitoring systems and engineers were paged in, immediately engaging the provider. During this time, we learned that a migration that was performed on our account was directly responsible for the system degradation. The DNS provider’s engineers started working on mitigation at 20:18 UTC, resolving the issue at 00:56 UTC.” Workspot Control service was impacted by this DNS resolution failure/outage from 23:15:44 UTC on 8/23 to 00:54:44 AM on 8/24.
