New Delhi: Internet services around the world have been badly affected due to a major technical glitch in Cloudflare. Due to this outage, many popular online platforms including OpenAI, ChatGPT, X (formerly Twitter) came to a sudden halt as their servers depend on the Cloudflare network.
movement in the internet world
Cloudflare is considered an important part of web security and content delivery, so its closure caused a stir in the entire internet world. This problem came at a time when a major outage in AWS had affected internet services only last month. These frequent incidents have clearly shown how sensitive the modern internet infrastructure is. Cloudflare provides CDN service and protection from DDoS attacks to millions of websites in the world, so as soon as it went down, many important services were stopped simultaneously.
Internet monitoring sites confirmed
The first reports of technical glitches started coming in around 5:20 pm (IST). Internet monitoring sites confirmed. Cloudflare is experiencing serious system-level technical issues. As soon as the outage started, within a few minutes its effect started appearing on many big platforms around the world.
The seriousness of this situation can be gauged from the fact that Downdetector, which tracks the malfunction of different internet services, also stopped working after some time. It became clear that the problem is very serious and a large part of the internet infrastructure is being affected by it.
Internet infrastructure is sensitive
According to the report, users in many countries reported that they were unable to access ChatGPT, other services of OpenAI, X and many websites and apps. Today, when a large part of the world is dependent on the Internet, such technical problems create a lot of problems not only for companies but also for common users. Overall, this technical failure of Cloudflare is once again an indication that the bigger the Internet infrastructure, the more sensitive it is and as soon as one major service stops, its impact is visible on the entire world.
