LONDON: Multiple major websites went offline briefly Tuesday after an apparent outage at the cloud service company Fastly, and there were still reports of sporadic disruptions after the company patched the problem about an hour later. Dozens of sites including the New York Times, CNN, Twitch, Reddit, the Guardian, and the UK government's home page, could not be reached. Some visitors trying to access CNN.com got a message that said: "Fastly error: unknown domain: cnn.com." Down Detector, which tracks internet outages, said: "Reports indicate there may be a widespread outage at Fastly, which may be impacting your service." Fastly describes itself as an "edge cloud platform."
