There is an ongoing issue with the data center that is causing slowdown in Masto.host infrastructure: https://public-cloud.status-ovhcloud.com/incidents/zchrslswkkvp
It supposed to be fixed already but I am still seeing some problems. I'm investigating and will update once I know more.
At the moment the support is not even answering calls and the message on the phone is that they are ongoing a maintenance. So, at least they should be working to solve this as soon as possible.
Will update once I know more.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I believe the source of the issue is with Object Storage uploads. So, instances with a lot of federation will be impacted with slowdowns, while instances with less federation will not be impacted by slowdowns.
I managed to get in contact with someone at OVH and I am waiting for a call back.
Again, really sorry about this.
The issue has been reported to the admins of the Object Storage and waiting to hear back from them.
My suspicion is that when they fixed https://public-cloud.status-ovhcloud.com/incidents/zchrslswkkvp they reverted some default configuration and that is causing the upload failures.
It looks like uploads are working again.
This will cause an extreme load in the infrastructures and servers with large queues will experience even higher slowdowns for a while. But this actually a good sign, the queues are being processed.
Will keep monitoring and I will update once I know more.
Most instances are back to normal. Only the ones with very high level of federation are still struggling.
I am continuing to monitor the situation.
The problem is solved and all instances response times are back to normal.
Again, really sorry for all the trouble this caused.
Thanks
@mastohost Thanks so much for your work!
