The reboot at the root of this <1min outage was to finalize a pending security update and being a critical patch, the pre-existing rules to force a graceful shutdown when rebooting were not honored. This interrupted a few of our test scripts mid-execution causing timeouts which were reported as potential customer outages.
Once the above failure was reported, our 2nd and 3rd layer synthetics rechecked (as designed) and confirmed there was no issue so any alerts that did go out would have been resolved in one minute or less.
We're adding logic to prevent a false alert like this in the future but, can say for sure that the issue has been resolved.
We apologize for any beats your heart may have skipped as a result of this false alert.
