in case there were not posted before, here are pictures of SBG2 in flames taken by the firemen. https://twitter.com/xgarreau/status/1369559995491172354

This puts an image on the sentence "SBG2 is destroyed". Do not expect any recovery from SBG2.

Holy hell. Are these "datacenters" really just shipping containers? That's what it looks like.

Aren't they a bargain-basement provider? You get what you pay for I guess?

Status shows greens across the board

http://status.ovh.com/vms/index_sbg2.html

Am I looking at the wrong thing or am I right to wonder why we still bother with public status pages if it never shows the real status?

Edit: nvm just saw another comment pointing out the same further down the thread (I randomly came across this page while looking for the physical location of another DC)
