Outage and Maintance History:
Subject: Latency issue in Edmonton Region Client Connected via Supernet
Category: Latency Issues
The service in the Edmonton region has been restored by AXIA.
The root cause of the issue was AXIA making a capacity change to their link. Their technical team has now reverted that change, and will run further analysis.
Please contact network@cybera.ca or 403.536.0880 if you have any questions.

Planned Start Time: Wednesday, May 1, 2019, 19:00 MDT
Planned End Time: Wednesday, May 1, 2019, 21:00 MDT
Anticipated outage duration: This maintenance work will result in three to four, 15 minutes or less outages during the time frame indicated above.
As a follow up to today’s outage, we require an emergency maintenance window later tonight that will result in a few short duration outages as we resolve a related outstanding configuration issue.
Early findings: The outage today was caused by a Routing Engine failure on our Edmonton router and a related software issue that compounded the outage duration. We are working on a full post mortem for this incident and will share our findings at a later time.

Subject: Unscheduled network outage.
Category: Network outage update
Please note that Cybera experienced a network outage today starting at 11:42. We are still investigating the scope and root cause of this outage. We are now investigating a hardware issue with our Edmonton Router and are working with the equipment vendor.
All IBG members as well as the VFS members who had redundancy configured have been redirected to Calgary. We are still investigating and will send periodic updates throughout the day.

On Friday March 8, Cybera experienced an outage that impacted several of our members.
On Friday at 4:50 pm we began maintenance work on the DWDM in Edmonton to reset a backup power supply. This work was successfully completed by 5:00 pm. Shortly after (at 5:10 pm), we started receiving alerts notifying us that the DWDM was down. The main and backup power supplies failed, impacting members in Edmonton without regional redundancy. Peering, IBG (Internet Buying Group), VFS (Virtual Firewall Service), and shared hardware firewall services became unavailable to them. This outage continued until we were able to find and install a working power supply at 7:45 pm.
Once the DWDM came back online, the Peering and IBG services were restored for all members. Unfortunately, the DWDM outage triggered another failure. This impacted the affected firewalls, and spread to include the previously working VFS firewalls across both regions. After several hours of debugging, we determined there was a Layer 2 spanning tree loop issue. By 2:00 am on Saturday, the issue was resolved for many of our members.
We did not realize that, at that time, the Calgary region was experiencing similar issues. Later Saturday morning, some of our VFS members in Calgary let us know they were having issues (thank-you!). A review of the symptoms showed the same problems that Edmonton had experienced, and we were able to similarly resolve the issue by 10:00 am Saturday morning.
Two schools, one in Edmonton and one in Calgary, continued to have firewall issues. Our team worked with them throughout the day to debug, and were able to resolve their issues by late afternoon.
We are compiling a list of lessons learned which we will be reviewing next week. Once we’ve determined our next steps and how we will improve our procedures going forward, we will share that information with our members.
