[Resolved] Between 17:00:00 UTC on 2025-10-20 and 01:00:00 UTC on 2025-10-21, the Panopto NA Cloud experienced delayed processing times and intermittent website performance issues due to the AWS service disruption(https://aws.amazon.com/message/101925/).
RCA: Between 17:00:00 UTC on 2025-10-20 and 01:00:00 UTC on 2025-10-21 our hosting provider AWS experienced a service disruption(https://aws.amazon.com/message/101925/). The inability to launch new server instances in AWS caused Panopto to fail to scale to keep up with demand generated throughout the day. Additionally, networking issues inside AWS also caused intermittent performance issues with the Panopto website. Once Panopto was able to launch new instances in AWS, we were able to overscale to ensure we were able to swiftly work through the backlog of processing jobs. We apologize for the inconvenience that this issue has caused and we thank you for your continued partnership.

[Resolved] The Panopto NA Cloud has been stable and metrics have remained normal since our last update. We've worked through the majority of our backlog and customers should expect to see normal performance and processing times moving forward.
We are resolving this incident and Panopto engineers are completing a full root cause analysis, which we will post here, within the next week. We truly appreciate your partnership and patience while we've worked through today's issues.

[Monitoring] We are continuing to see more instances launch successfully and are beginning to see significant performance improvements. We are seeing processing jobs succeed and we are seeing our queues decrease. You may still see longer than normal processing times as jobs move through our system and we work through the backlog. We will continue to monitor the status of AWS and our system as we work towards full recovery.
Thank you for your patience and we will provide another update in 120 minutes.
