These major websites were inaccessible due to an issue with the content delivery network (CDN) of Fastly, an American cloud computing service provider. Fastly said it was investigating the impact of its CDN services and an hour later, it applied a fix. But what is CDN and why is it important for functioning of the Internet?
Major media and government websites, including the White House, The New York Times, Reddit and Amazon were temporarily down on June 8 after being hit by a global outage blamed on a glitch from cloud computing services provider Fastly. The widespread outages around 1000 GMT also hit the UK government website, CNN and the BBC before resuming services more than an hour later.
