Dates:

Saturday March 9th 2024, 20:00 UTC - Monday March 11th, 13:22 UTC

What happened:

Some Windows, Linux, and Android Emulator workloads in our US-West-1 data center experienced elevated error rates.

Why it happened:

A hardware instruction silently failed to be programmed in a network device’s TCAM. This resulted in a subset of traffic from one of our data centers being unable to reach the public Internet.

How we fixed it:

We forced a reprogramming of the TCAM instructions in question.

What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:

We are investigating ways to better understand silent failures in this portion of our infrastructure.
