When one of the links between one of the DCs and the office goes down, half the servers in the other DC cannot be reached from anywhere not inside that DC
 
I do have a good chuckle when i see people getting cisco qualified by only taking a few weeks/months to study.There is no way you can master all those technologies.You have to practice on simulators for for hours on end to be proficient .But i guess people prefer shortcuts and dont want to learn the fundamentals.If you design a system based on best practices + add a bit of common sense , you will mitigate 95% of problems.

Cisco certs are the only things that Cisco can deliver at the moment. Everything else is delayed well into next year. :ROFL:
 
This bring back so many bad memories. The first time migrated to cloud, we thought going to save 5x fold and 100x faster but forgot to take into account a DDOS + many other attacks. API was so fast(100k request per second), got a minor DDOS attack and costed 15x more. Since then everything we put a throttled limit(WAF rule).
 
Any updates? All sites I have hosted with Absolute Hosting are currently unreachable.

There also seems to be big dns issues. Any servers on your network hosting dns is resulting in sites not resolving.

Even cPanel licenses cant be verified :/

How is the move going? Some of my clients have instructed me to move things as services come up or restore from backups. Looks like a few servers will get cancelled :/

This was addressed this morning after we spent a good 5 hours on a conference call with all parties.

Have you logged this via a support ticket so that we can track this?

Sorry about the inconvenience

Remember 30% is all that is required!
 
Hi Jade, can we get an update here on the current status of hosting and the attack?

Are we being moved to another facility?
