LearnItFirst.com hosts its IT training videos over at Rackspace and, due to unknown issues, the LearnItFirst site is unavailable due to Rackspace being down. 2009 hasn’t been the smoothest year for Rackspace – this makes the fourth big Rackspace outage of the year.
- June 29, 2009 – power failures at a data center caused an outage
- July 7, 2009 – more power failures at a data center caused an outage
- November 3, 2009 – Rackspace’s Cloud Sites and Slicehost went down due to power problems
- December 18, 2009 – Unknown as of this writing (it only happened three minutes ago!)
This isn’t an isolated LearnItFirst.com issue; it affects tons of people (TechCrunch is offline now too).
Looks like I was first in the twitterscape to break “the story” – lucky me! I beat @yrrenus by at least two full seconds :)
Within ten minutes, there were more than 100 tweets about Rackspace being down! I frigging love Twitter!
