Southeast Asia Outage – 7th February 2023
A cooling failure within our upstream vendors datacenter brough down a subset of services; storage accounts and SQL backend. This required StarRez to implement DR processes to bring customer sites back online.
Root Cause
A cooling failure within our upstream vendors datacenter forced a shutdown of all storage and compute resources within this zone to protect our data. This impacted a subset of services for customers in this region, primarily storage accounts and SQL backends.
Resolution
A subset of services were re-provisioned within a functional zone within the region to bring a subset of customers back online. All remaining impacted services were failed over as part of the StarRez DR process to the Asia East region.
Once the upstream vendor had brought all services back online within the region and StarRez was comfortable with stability, all services were moved back into the Southeast region.
Additional Information
In follow-up to this incident, StarRez have reviewed and updated our DR process in response to this incident to ensure quicker recovery should similar incidents occur in the future.
