How sure are we that this outage is limited to IBM cloud?

Pindom[1] had a spike of website outages from 11k => 27k.

It's most likely customers of IBM cloud whose systems rely on something hosted there and are thus down as well.

Yes, I considered that possibility before posting.

I'm not sure what you are trying to prove with your comment then.

Sometimes people ask questions when they aren't sure and don't have anything to prove.

My top-level comment was trying to ask for any evidence whether the downtime was related to a wider network issue (eg. BGP, backbone) or if it was specific to (part of) the IBM cloud.

The link was just a data point, not evidence of anything in particular.
