After: We continue to make progress addressing the issue and have identified a problem with core authentication systems that are preventing normal service operation. To accelerate recovery, we've engaged our third-party vendor to help analyze the impacted environment and restore service as quickly as possible.
In parallel, we're validating corrective actions and taking steps to prevent further impact on other customer instances.
We will provide another update in 60 minutes or sooner as additional information becomes available.
Before: not present
After: Investigations have highlighted that the impact radius is broader than initially understood. We have updated the posting to reflect the additional instances experiencing impact, and customers in these instances will receive communications related to this incident going forward.
Before: not present
After: Testing of a mitigation step is in progress in a sandbox environment, which involves regenerating service accounts and confirming they return to a healthy state. Once validated, it will be pushed to the production environment.
We will provide another update in 60 minutes or sooner as additional information becomes available.
Before: not present
After: The issue is resolved for customers on DEU130 as of 09:05 UTC. The team deleted an unhealthy metadata pod and Cloud Store node, which brought customers on this instance out of impact. A failover is being pursued to bring DEU132 out of impact, as the same mitigation step was not successful for that instance.
Upon further investigation, it was determined that this issue is resulting in downstream impact to Service Cloud Voice. Customers are experiencing errors when trying to create a voice call.
We will provide another update in 60 minutes or sooner as additional information becomes available.
Before: not present
After: The issue has been resolved, and customers on and DEU132. The failover for DEU132 was successful, and customers on this instance are out of impact as of 10:18 UTC. We have validated that services are back up and running for all customers on these instances. Due to the difference in end times, customers on DEU130 will be removed from this Trust posting and receive their own messaging with accurate start and end times.
We apologize for how you and your business may have been affected by this incident. We will thoroughly investigate the incident, confirming the technical trigger, the underlying cause, and preventive action to avoid a repeat in the future.
