OVHcloud goes down in outage affecting global backbone

French colo and cloud provider OVHcloud is experiencing a global outage.
Earlier this year, one of OVH’s data centers burned down, causing significant outages and data loss.
The company plans a $4.7 billion IPO later this year.
The outage began at around 7:00 UTC, with a maintenance reconfiguration error.–
On March 10, a fire on OVHcloud’s Strasbourg campus destroyed its SBG2 data center, and disabled three other buildings, one of them permanently.
