East NA DNS Kabooms (was Re: Alexa Outage?)
https://isitdns.com/

We’ve had customers reporting issues with Salesforce for the last few hours and one of the issues we discovered was intermittent SERVFAILs. It looks like they’ve fixed/worked around the issue ( see IDs 709 and 7273 at https://status.salesforce.com/ )

Looking at the graphs at https://downdetector.com/ Alexa, AWS, Zoom, and Salesforce graphs look almost identical, so I’m guessing this is not a coincidence.

I definitely think there's a problem.  It came back up for a few minutes, and now it's down again and occasionally responding with random nonsense.

Reading your previous message, I said “Alexa, Hello” to my Echo and the thing responded with some long answer and then asked me if that answered my question.  No idea what it thought I said.  Maybe it’s still broke.

Calls from a handful of users that Alexa is saying "I'm having trouble connecting" or "I'm having trouble understanding you at the moment".

I plugged in an Alexa device in my office, and it's also having trouble.

It’s what’s left of UltraDNS. Another DDoS like the one at the beginning of May, but quite a bit smaller.
