Hi Katie, you are not alone.
My site is down and there is another post in here of someone's site being down.

So doesnt appear to be isolated.

Not sure who to contact but I sent a note to:  support@moodle.com


Will report back if I hear anything I’m not sure if there is a cloud specific contact.

Hello Monty!
I also sent an email to to that address. I believe that is the correct one for this type of issue. I have had to contact them before and they are pretty quick at getting back with me. However, I believe it may be a few hours before we hear anything due to the time difference (I believe it is around 1 am in Australia right now).

Yes, our site is also down! I am receiving a 503 error. Our IT department has advised me that this is a host error. 
Moodle does have an site where you can log issues: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-67760.

I submitted Issue MDL-67760 - please vote for that issue as that will let Moodle know that multiple people are having the same issue.

Thanks everyone for posting here - good to know we're not the only ones!

Hi Phong Cao,
I would appreciate it if you could make another post if you receive a follow up response from that email. I tried emailing support@moodlecloud.com last year when we had an issue and I never received a response. It would be great to have a reliable email to contact when these kinds of things happen.

Here as well.  Both of my sites (one free and one paid) are down with no word from Moodle or moodlecloud.  As I have said before - the silence is deafening.  They could at least update us.

I received this just a few minutes ago in my email:

Hello Moodler,

This is a notification that service to select MoodleCloud sites are currently unavailable. We are sorry for the inconvenience of this outage and are working to get the sites back up.

Thank you,
Moodle HQ

Hi Katie,
Just wondering if you know what the process is to get signed up to receive those kinds of updates? That would be super helpful.

Hi Katie (and everyone who posted here).

I wanted to close this one out by sharing some information about the incident, what we learned, and what plans we have for this to not happen again.

1. Outage
We had a failure of a single-point dependency in our US region's infrastructure. At the time of failure, the automatic notification to our on-call engineer also wasn't picked up immediately by our on-call engineer, exacerbating the respond/resolve time.

2. Notification
Ideally in a situation like the above, the internal incident notification system will contain a step for automatically notifying an engineering manager when an incident goes unacknowledged by the on-call engineer. This was not configured correctly for management notifications.

3. Communication
Ideally in a situation like the above, non-engineering staff are brought into the loop to manage public-facing communications like status.moodlecloud.com and the forums here. Due to the above breakdown in communications, neither of these steps were taken to let the community know about the issues we were having.

4. Outcomes
As Product Manager for MoodleCloud, I've taken on 17 discrete changes as a result of this. Some are already in place, others are longer term goals that will make more incremental improvements to how we provide this service to our users.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the impact to your services, and I hope that this transparency goes some way to giving you confidence that we're working hard to improve every day here at the MoodleCloud team at Moodle HQ.

If you have questions or concerns, please reach out below. I'm always keen to hear your views.

Thanks heaps
Lee Goldsworthy
