The recent global outage of Cloudflare's R2 service caused temporary disruptions, affecting users who rely on this storage solution. Although the issue has been resolved, some users reported their experiences and confusion regarding the simultaneous incident reported by Docker Hub, hinting at potential overlaps. Users expressed frustration over downtime but also noted that their operations were not significantly impacted due to a lack of real users, indicating a level of relief. Cloudflare's status page has since updated to reflect that R2 is operational, though some users experienced specific error codes related to Cloudflare Workers during the downtime. Historical precedents from OpenAI's naming decisions to avoid conflicts in branding were humorously referenced in relation to R2 and potential future models.
