Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Optum's Recast Claim Formatter service experienced a major outage for 18.1 hours due to a weekend infrastructure change that recreated a virtual machine with a new private IP address, causing firewall access issues since the firewall was configured for the previous IP. The incident affected users inconsistently, with some experiencing issues while others remained unaffected. The service was restored after the team updated firewall configurations and performed rolling restarts.

Recast Claim Formatter performed an infrastructure change over the weekend which involved recreating a virtual machine that changed its private IP address which then prevented the firewall access as it was originally opened only previous private ip address. We are currently in the process of resolving this issue, opening the firewall and performing a rolling restart. Some of you may not be experiencing any issues while others are. #INC48839327
