Directory API Service Interruption
Incident Report for Ping Identity
Postmortem

Incident Summary

On June 18th, 2019 beginning at 17:37 UTC, customers experienced the inability to login to the PingOne Directory services (login.pingone.com and directory-api.pingone.com). Services were fully recovered by 18:12 UTC after a database restoration.

At the time of the incident, there were planned maintenance activities on a downstream database cluster. These activities triggered an edge case scenario where AWS terminated all instances in the cluster in a specific AWS region.

Incident Timeline

June 18, 2019 (all times in UTC)

  • 17:37 - Underlying branding database nodes are terminated by AWS.
  • 17:40 - New database instances created and begin replicating data from other regions.
  • 18:00 - SRE performs rolling restart of application servers to point to the new database nodes.
  • 18:12 - Services recovered.

Affected Services

  • Directory Login (.com)
  • Directory API (.com)

Resolution

Service restoration occurred after the new database nodes were created and data was recovered. There was no data lost during this incident.

Ping Action Items

  • Remove branding services as critical dependency of Directory login services.
  • Ensure instance deletion protection is enabled on all branding database instances to resolve this AWS termination edge case.
