System Status

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Status service allows you to see the status of OCI services in a region on a dashboard, and query service status programmatically.
Note

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Status dashboard shows service outages at the service or region level. Outages specific to a customer are communicated to the customer with Console Announcements.

Service Highlights
