Fastly (apparently) causes several major websites to go down

[jammy-git]

Couldn't see a thread running already. Looks like Fastly is down: https://status.fastly.com/

Loads of major websites down; Shopify, Amazon, FT Times, Reddit, The Guardian, Gov.UK, Independent, and the NYT!

BBC News article.

It'll be interesting to see their response and what the cause was (malicious or accidental).

It's been a while since there's been such widespread disruption caused by a service going down like this.

Probably the usual:

There's no way it's DNS!

I know BBC was down about 11 and then I tried Spotify and that was the same.
