It's almost like no amount of redundancy or money spent on excessive and complex solutions ever fully prevents downtime for anyone. I'm only seeing reports in Brazil, could be anything.
Not only from Brazil. I'm experiencing an outage from my OVH servers in Canada with their default (OVH) DNS servers.
No one tweeted anything yet so it could just be a unique/isolated issue.
At least 1 Brazil pop got rerouted.

Ah, didn't see that on their status page.
Here is what happened:
"An old key was used improperly for signing the second level zones of .br. A complete report with details of the incident will be published shortly."
I also saw no blips in service here...
Yeah that fits. We are talking about CloudF%&#! after all ...
ClouDNS ftw
They can fixed that, have patience. I cannot complain and I don't have the right to complain because I'm only using their service on a free tier plan.
I lot of people really want to take them down. DDoS'ing them. I really hope these as5hole script kiddies build their own proxy server and feel what it's like to experience DDoS. Sad.
Sorry for the language.
Yesterday, the internet management committee in Brazil signed a certificate with an invalid key.
This affected DNSSEC.
The problem was solved, but it generated many inconveniences for us.
Sounds like someone from the Internet Management Committee is going to be in trouble. What a huge mistake!
OK "them stupid Brazilians" who don't know anything about the modern world f_cked it up and not CF the white knights of internet wizardry.
Oh, wait "them stupid Brazilians" created one of the most wide used languages (Lua) and run an IX that is larger (avg. throuput) than DecIX (DE), AMSIX (NL), and LINX(UK). source
Besides, maybe, just maybe DNSSEC whose merits are questionable and which isn't exactly loved by all experts might have something to do with it.
If you’re going to be pedantic, the IX-br is actually 31 exchanges that aren’t connected with each other. The biggest single point still ranks fourth in the world though.
Also, no one called Brazilians stupid, did they?
I take "the internet management committee in Brazil signed a certificate with an invalid key." to mean roughly "CF is fine and did nothing wrong but the Brazilians acted stupidly".
P.S. Most larger IXs are not one location but multiple points spread across the country or even across the globe (e.g. DecIX).
