Oracle Cloud Status Monitor
Oracle Cloud Status: Is Oracle Cloud Down Right Now?
Use this Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) status guide to confirm outages fast, troubleshoot API or service issues, and get real-time monitoring for the moment Oracle Cloud goes down.
Quick Oracle Cloud Status Checklist
- 1. Check official OCI status page.
- 2. Confirm with community reports.
- 3. Verify with independent monitoring.
- 4. Check your specific OCI region.
Real-time monitoring coming soon
We are working on adding live status checks for this service.
Check the official Oracle Cloud status page
Oracle posts incident updates, degraded service notices, and maintenance windows for all OCI regions and services.
ocistatus.oraclecloud.comLook for community reports
Crowd-sourced signals can confirm widespread API failures, compute instance issues, or database service degradation.
Downdetector reportsVerify with independent monitoring
Use API Status Check for third-party monitoring that verifies real endpoints and tracks historical incidents.
Oracle Cloud on API Status CheckCommon Oracle Cloud Issues During Outages
Compute instance connection failures
Users may be unable to SSH into instances, experience network timeouts, or see instances in degraded states during outages.
API authentication or 5xx errors
Developers may encounter authentication failures, 500/503 errors, or request timeouts when OCI APIs are under stress.
Database service degradation
Oracle Autonomous Database, MySQL, or other database services may experience slow queries, connection failures, or unavailability.
Object Storage access issues
Object Storage buckets may fail to load, return errors, or experience slow upload/download speeds during infrastructure stress.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Oracle Cloud Is Down
- 1
Check region-specific status
Oracle Cloud outages are often regional. Verify the specific OCI region (e.g., us-ashburn-1) for your resources on the status page.
- 2
Verify API credentials and limits
Ensure your API keys are valid, not expired, and that you haven't hit service limits or quota restrictions.
- 3
Test with OCI CLI
Use the OCI command-line interface to test basic operations like `oci iam region list` to isolate API issues.
- 4
Check security lists and VCN routing
Network connectivity issues may be caused by misconfigured security lists, route tables, or VCN peering rather than platform outages.
- 5
Review audit logs
Check OCI Audit logs for failed API calls, authentication errors, or service-specific failure patterns.
Real-Time Oracle Cloud Monitoring
API Status Check tracks Oracle Cloud Infrastructure status with independent monitoring, uptime stats, and incident history so you can confirm outages quickly.
Independent Oracle Cloud status checks
API Status Check performs independent monitoring across OCI regions so you can verify status even if official updates are delayed.
Incident history and uptime data
Review recent outages, response times, and reliability trends to understand Oracle Cloud platform stability.
Real-time alerts and integrations
Get notified with email alerts, RSS feeds, and webhooks when Oracle Cloud experiences a new incident.
Alternative Solutions During Oracle Cloud Outages
Fail over to alternative OCI region
If your architecture supports multi-region deployment, fail over to an unaffected Oracle Cloud region during regional outages.
Use AWS or Azure as backup
For critical workloads, maintain failover capacity on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud to handle Oracle Cloud outages.
Queue API requests with retry logic
Implement exponential backoff and request queuing for OCI API calls to handle transient failures gracefully.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts to get notified the moment Oracle Cloud recovers from an outage so you can resume operations.
Get notified when Oracle Cloud is back up
No account needed. We will email you once and thats it.
Oracle Cloud Status FAQ
Is Oracle Cloud down right now?
Check ocistatus.oraclecloud.com and API Status Check for independent monitoring. Verify your specific OCI region, as outages are often regional.
Why can't I connect to my OCI instance?
Connection failures can be caused by outages, network misconfiguration, or security list rules. Check Oracle Cloud status first, then verify VCN settings.
What is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)?
OCI is Oracle's cloud platform offering compute, storage, networking, and database services competing with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Why is the Oracle Cloud API returning errors?
API errors during outages typically show as 5xx responses or authentication failures. Implement retry logic and check region-specific status.
Does Oracle Cloud have SLA guarantees?
Yes, Oracle Cloud offers SLAs with uptime commitments for most services. Review your agreement for specific guarantees and service credit eligibility.
How can I get Oracle Cloud outage alerts?
Subscribe to alerts on API Status Check to receive real-time notifications when Oracle Cloud or specific OCI services experience an incident.
