Service Issue - Block Storage Newark, US
Between 22:50 UTC on June 2, 2026 and 19:00 UTC on June 3, 2026, some customers experienced intermittent performance degradation and long access times when interacting with the Compute Block Storage cluster in Newark, US. During this period, intermittent component instability triggered intensive background recovery operations. This elevated system load resulted in a temporary degradation of data redundancy, higher read/write latency, and reduced throughput for the affected volumes. To mitigate the impact, Akamai successfully restored the affected storage drives to operation, stabilizing the cluster and eliminating active customer impact. Following this, additional actions aim to fully restore standard system redundancy. This summary provides an overview of our current understanding of the incident given the information available. Our investigation is ongoing and any information herein is subject to change.

Service Issue - Object Storage
Between 10:13 UTC and 10:22 UTC on May 29, 2026, customers using Object Storage \(OBJ\) in London experienced 5xx errors when trying to access content stored in that location. While attempting to isolate a separate packet loss issue, Akamai sequentially upgraded 2 pairs of routers. The first pair of routers was upgraded successfully, but due to human error the second router pair's upgrade command was executed before the first pair had completed route convergence. This resulted in a temporary loss of routing paths for OBJ traffic in the London datacenter. The issue was quickly detected via an automated alert, and service was restored automatically once the firmware upgrades and routing convergence completed. Akamai's Change Management Policy requires all router upgrade activities to be performed in accordance with established procedures and predefined implementation instructions. Akamai will conduct refresher training on the Change Management Policy to reinforce compliance with the required processes and ensure strict adherence going forward. This summary provides an overview of our current understanding of the incident given the information available. Our investigation is ongoing and any information herein is subject to change.
