API & Configuration Management
On the 30th of June 2025 at 19:00 UTC, Fastly released new options for fine-tuned control over user access and permissions within the Fastly Control Panel. This release is a part of our continued effort to optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of our platform.
What’s Changed?
This update introduces two enhancements to help you manage user access and Transport Layer Security (TLS) related permissions more effectively:
New user roles:
We've added TLS Viewer and TLS Admin roles to give you more granular control over TLS configurations.
These roles allow you to assign TLS-specific access without granting broader platform permissions.
Improved roles visibility in the UI:
The Active Users view in the User Management UI now includes a Role column, making it easier to see and audit what roles are assigned to each user.
Both new TLS user roles are now available for adding a new user account or configuring user roles and permissions for current users accounts.
What’s next? What do I have to do?
Nothing. Our engineers have initiated the maintenance to our Fastly Application, and there is no anticipated action or impact for our customers. Customers now have additional options to customize their new and existing user permissions. Rest assured that Fastly has not updated any existing permissions as a result of this maintenance. Customers may review and adjust their own preferences at their own pace.
Customers with any questions or concerns may engage with our Support team through https://support.fastly.com.
The scheduled maintenance has been completed.

Fastly Engineers detected a performance impacting event affecting our service configuration endpoints API.
All other data centers and services were unaffected. The issue has been resolved and we are monitoring performance closely.
On the 23rd of June 2026 at 20:16 UTC, Fastly released an update that included a bug fix to our Fastly API. This bug impacted the order of paginated results from the GET /service-authorizations endpoint, which could cause inconsistent results to be returned.
What’s Changing?
This change has introduced altered behavior in the API. If no sort parameter has been provided in the request, the results will now default to sorting by ID.
What’s next? What do I have to do?
Nothing. There is no anticipated action or impact for our customers.
Customers with any questions or concerns may engage with our Support team through https://support.fastly.com or by contacting your designated account management team members.
We are seeing increased errors across multiple Fastly services that utilize a common third party service provider, unrelated to Fastly's Edge Cloud Network.
Fastly has launched acute incident response practices to investigate into this issue further in an effort to reduce the impact to our customers.
As our engineers determine the scope of impact our Customer Escalation Management team will be updating the impacted components on this status post.
We're aware of an ongoing Google Cloud incident, detailed on their status page, which is affecting several Fastly services. Customers may be experiencing increased latency due to impact to our KV Store.
Specifically, those trying to access their control plane via manage.fastly.com might notice that several key Observability features are not loading, including Billing, Historical Stats, Log Explorer & Insights, Origin Inspector, Real-Time Log Streaming, and Real-time Analytics. You may also find it difficult to engage with API endpoints. Additionally, customers might see elevated errors when accessing Fastly webpages and documented resources.
Our engineers are working to restore these services as a high priority and we will provide more information shortly.
You can monitor the Google Cloud incident here:
We've confirmed that customers won't receive status post notifications through their Support Slack channels during this incident.
However, we want to assure you that your ability to request a support case through our Support Slack services remains unaffected. You can still open new support cases as needed.
Google Cloud has communicated that they have successfully deployed mitigations to the majority of their services. We are now observing a gradual recovery of Fastly services.
We will continue to monitor this situation with the highest priority until all Fastly and customer services are fully restored.
We have continued to monitor the Google Cloud Status Page for the latest information by the third party service provider.
Incident Update: Full Recovery and Root Cause Identified
Current Status: Resolved
We're confirming that all services impacted during yesterday's incident have fully recovered. Our teams continuously monitored the situation and verified the stability of all affected systems.
Root Cause Analysis
Our investigation has confirmed that the increased errors and latency across our KV Store, control plane, and certain Observability features were a direct result of the Google Cloud disruption on the 12th of June 2025.
Google has publicly shared a post-mortem regarding the incident. It includes specific information about the root cause—an invalid automated quota update to their API management system—along with their mitigation strategies and steps they're taking for future prevention.
Next Steps
For a comprehensive understanding of the incident's origin, mitigation, and Google's preventative measures, we encourage customers to review the official Google Cloud Status Page. This provides a full breakdown from their perspective.
Additionally, our Product and Engineering teams will thoroughly review all Google Cloud Platform (GCP) reports to determine mitigation strategies and ensure they are adopted as part of our long-term preventive measures to ensure our systems are more resilient to third-party outages of this kind in the future.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we worked through this third-party event. Our focus remains on providing reliable and high-performance services.

As part of our ongoing commitment to account security and alignment with industry standard best practices, we’re strengthening our password policy across our Fastly Application and Next-Gen WAF (NGWAF) Console product offerings.
Fastly will be performing maintenance on the Fastly Control Panel on the 19th of May 2025 from 14:00 to 14:30 UTC (~30 minute duration).
What’s Changing?
Beginning on the 19th of May 2025, any user who creates a new account or resets their password in the Fastly Application will be required to choose a password that is at least 12 characters long including letters, numbers, and special characters. This change will affect the Sign Up, Create Account, and Reset Password experiences on our website.
This change will help maintain account security and provides significant benefits to our users, including:
- Longer passwords are more secure and significantly reduce the risk of brute‑force or guessing attacks
- A minimum length of 12 characters meets the current recommended industry security standard
- Safeguards your data against unauthorized access and protects user accounts
This new password requirement condition will be displayed in real time as a password is entered into any password field on the website. Users attempting to submit a password with fewer than 12 characters, including Application Programming Interface (API) or Terraform requests to Create or Reset a password, will fail.
This change will not impact existing account passwords and will only apply to new account passwords or when a password reset is requested.
What’s next? What do I have to do?
If you have an integration using our Fastly API or Terraform modules to automate account creation or password resets, you’ll need to update your code and configurations to enforce the new 12 character minimum requirement.
Remember that all passwords associated with your Fastly account are case sensitive.
Your account will continue to operate as expected and all other products and services remain unaffected by this maintenance.
