DigitalOcean, Reddit Outages & Worldline’s IT Perturbations

The past few weeks are somewhat of a representative sample of 2024 from an outage perspective, with connectivity issues and updates at the root of the four recent incidents.

Meanwhile, Microsoft and Reddit encountered problems following changes to their systems that appeared to have unexpected user impacts and had to be rolled back. 

Tune in to hear The Internet Report team unpack these incidents and discuss the latest outage trends.
