On Friday, Cloudflare suffered a 27-minute outage that impacted websites such as Politico, GitLab, Zendesk, and Discord. Cloudflare subsequently blamed the outage on its 1.1.1.1 DNS service on a configuration error on one of its routers in Atlanta.
“We had an issue that impacted some portions of the Cloudflare network,” Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prices wrote on Twitter on Friday. “It appears that a router in Atlanta had an error that caused bad routes across our backbone. That resulted in misrouted traffic to PoPs that connect to our backbone.”
