Summary AI Generated
Fly.io's IAD region experienced slow image pulls for Fly Machines over approximately 1.5 hours, causing delayed Machine starts and potential deployment timeouts. Newly created or updated Machines were affected, though they did eventually start successfully after the delay. The cause was identified and a fix was implemented, with image pull times returning to normal by resolution.
We are investigating slow image pulls within Fly Machines in IAD. Newly created or updated Machines are taking longer to start, which may cause deployments to time out. Machines start successfully after the delay. Consider creating Machines in alternate regions, if possible, or running `fly deploy --wait-timeout 10m` to give Machines up to 10 minutes to prepare images and start.
