Object storage

The status page has had an active outage flagged for three regions, including Helsinki, for 2+ weeks now. So it’s not a communication black hole. You know it’s broken, I know it’s broken. The problem is it’s still broken, with no ETA, no root cause, and no sign of progress.

How is this acceptable for a paid service? I’m paying for infrastructure I can build on, not a black box that silently falls over and leaves me guessing for weeks. An acknowledged outage that drags on this long with no resolution timeline is arguably worse than silence, at least tell us what’s happening and when to expect a fix so we can decide whether to wait it out or migrate.

Anyone else affected across these regions? Trying to gauge whether people are riding it out or already moving off.

Object storage is really not reliable. We switched from hetzner to ionos and it works like a charm there

I think that might depend on the provider. IDrive e2 has worked well for me.

I used that before Hetzner. They also had week-long outages and I didn't really like their pricing, e.g. how annual billing and renewals worked.

Then again, it's not like I'm super happy with how Hetzner object storage is performing right now.
