Everything is down. How can this happen? Many of these services are unrelated, like even the brand-new Codespaces and Copilot are completely down. Do they all have a single point of failure? (Presumably the git server)

In fact last march they specifically mentioned “Database stability”: https://github.blog/2022-04-06-github-availability-report-ma...

It's not DNS

There's no way it's DNS

DNS, BGP, PKI, probably other TLAs.

[ehayes]

Yeah but they probably all share DNS or something related to networking

My bet is on cache servers having a bad release
