Our engineers have confirmed that the impact to our Geolocation services has been restored to pre-incident levels. There will be a scheduled deployment to further reduce the risk of future impact, and we will continue to monitor the service with a high priority until this updated configuration has been deployed.

Once our deployment has been confirmed, we will resolve this status post.

As described in our April 7, 2022 deprecation of support notice, a third-party vendor for one of Fastly’s geolocation databases is retiring their legacy geoip database. Fastly engineering team will start performing maintenance as part of the retirement of the legacy geoip.* VCL variables beginning May 9th, 2022 at 16:00 UTC. All Fastly services still using the legacy geolocation variables will be migrated by Fastly to the geolocation database using the client.geo.* variables between May 9th 2022 and May 27th 2022. The two sets of geolocation variables use databases from two different third-party vendors and some variable values differ between the two vendors. Fastly has documented the notable differences between the two sets of variables on our Developer Hub here: https://developer.fastly.com/reference/vcl/variables/geolocation/ Starting May 27th 2022, Fastly will no longer support the legacy geolocation geoip.* VCL variables and all instances of them in Fastly services must be removed by this date. Customers should use the client.geo.* variables for geolocation data in all new and existing Fastly services. Additional details have been emailed to known impacted customers from Fastly Customer Support. If you have any questions or concerns you can contact Fastly’s Support team at support@fastly.com.
