We have new information regarding the incident that affected your service(s). Please find below an update on the situation: Update : PostGIS support for PostgreSQL 18 was introduced in a newer PostGIS version. However, an identified defect carries a risk of data corruption for geospatial data, so we have chosen not to enable it on our offer yet. We are waiting for a PostGIS release that fixes this issue before allowing PostGIS to be used on PostgreSQL 18. As a reminder, this only affects customers using the PostGIS extension. PostgreSQL instances that do not use PostGIS are not impacted. In the meantime, we still strongly recommend that PostGIS users postpone any upgrade to PostgreSQL 18 and remain on PostgreSQL 17, which is fully compatible with PostGIS. Ongoing Actions : The incident has been identified and corrected. It is being closely monitored to ensure long-term stability. We will keep you updated on the progress and resolution. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appr

Follow OVHcloud
Your coding agent knows when OVHcloud is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get OVHcloud incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.
Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.cc/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.
Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "ovhcloud" and tell me if OVHcloud has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
