Users of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have reported an outage in Europe yesterday.
First reported by The Register, along with OCI customer reports and the DownDetector website, OCI experienced issues in various parts of Europe at around 7:00am UTC.
The outage was said to last for around six hours, and affected OCI’s identity platform. The regions impacted included OCI’s Germany Central region located in Frankfurt, while failover to the Netherlands Northwest region in Amsterdam failed.
DCD has reached out to Oracle for confirmation of the outage, and an explanation of the cause.
Oracle is a known customer of Equinix in Frankfurt, hosting its Germany-based EU Sovereign Cloud region with the company. Equinix has at least nine data centers in the Frankfurt region.
Oracle’s status page lists “no incidents reported” for May 2025 at the time of writing.
Last month, Oracle experienced a cyberattack. Initially, the cloud provider denied that any such incident occurred, but later told customers that there had been an incident, but only Oracle Cloud Classic – an older generation of its platform – was impacted, not OCI.
Over the last couple of months, cloud providers including Google, AWS, and Ukraine’s De Novo have also suffered outages for a variety of reasons.
