A few different sites tonight are giving me a Varnish cache server error as below in Wellington tonight: (eg. theguardian.com, reddit.com)

I'm not seeing anything on the status page for Bigpipe or Spark, but is this an ISP caching problem?

Error 503 Service Unavailable

Service Unavailable

It seems like Fastly (a CDN) is having issues at the moment - I’m seeing similar issues with major sites on other ISPs.

Edit: Yep - https://status.fastly.com/

Summary of June 8 outage | Fastly

On May 12, we began a software deployment that introduced a bug that could be triggered by a specific customer configuration under specific circumstances.

Early June 8, a customer pushed a valid configuration change that included the specific circumstances that triggered the bug, which caused 85% of our network to return errors.
