Confluent Cloud Service Outage

The issue has been resolved and services are operating normally. The root cause was a networking configuration change deployed at approximately 22:22 UTC in the us-west-2 region that caused client connection issues, resulting in intermittent service disruption across several Confluent Cloud services, including Kafka, Flink, Metrics API, Logging, Provisioning, and Authentication. The change was reverted, and as of 23:50 UTC, services have been fully restored.

Confluent has identified the cause of the issue and reverted the related configuration change. During the incident, some Kafka clusters experienced intermittent connectivity issues, and some control plane services, including metrics, logging, authentication, and new cluster provisioning, were briefly impacted. The issue has been mitigated, services are stable, and we continue to monitor.

We’ve identified the cause of the connection issues and are reverting a recent configuration change. Service stability is improving as the rollback progresses. We’ll continue monitoring and provide an update once all services are confirmed restored.

We are currently investigating this issue.
