Good morning Frannie, Tibs, Gracie, Dale and HandsomeHunkyHeManHomemaker @SilverBear....

Couldn't get on the forum again this morning until now. What's up with that? Another message from Cloudfare, but why only me?

@FranC keeping good thoughts for hubs!!

"The cloud" CDN (Content Distribution Network) is really composed of many regional servers all (supposedly) kept in sync. That's what it's all about. So the one assigned to your region of the country? It's having "issues".

 

[daleron]

DUG to all ... my server hasn't been working either

 

[AttyPops]

Yeah, you might even share the same one. Or it was an "update" to all of them.

Just FYI, this is a neat description:

How does a CDN work
A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a global cluster of caches that can serve as local caches for static files (objects).

If a visitor of a website or a user of an application request certain files (e.g. images, pdfs, javascript, CSS files, etc), instead of the hosting server responding with these objects, the CDN takes care of serving them. Because a CDN takes the geo-location of the user in account, the file will be served from the caching-node closest to the visitor. This means data can become available to the user with lightning speed, independent of the location of the website or application.

If the caching-node that is assigned with serving the data to the visitor, doesn't have the requested object available, it will ask other nodes in the CDN first. If the object is not in the CDN, then the object will be requested from the Origin Server (the server or object store container where the source files reside).

Sometimes the admins have to "push updates" (that's the thing retired1 won't usually admit to ) and all servers get real busy for a bit resyncing stuff. So then he says "Oh! Must be an issue with the CDN...".
Sometimes it IS an issue with the CDN. Meh.

You can say that again.
(If it's having problems, it might also double-post stuff, ....syncing issue)

It all sounds like good nationalist rhetoric, until you have to make good on all those promises. Time to start filling in the gaps. Let's see what happens, eh? Some could be good. Some may not be.
