ACI timing out

[tonygarcia]

Starting around 11am EST today (11/19) I have been unable to connect to the Always-On sandbox because it keeps timing out. It was working just a little while earlier. I'm wondering if anyone else is encountering this and/or if there is a known outage?

Hi @tonygarcia I just tested the Always-On ACI sandbox and worked. Loading was slow after I click to accept the self-certificate. Whenever possible, is better to use a reservable sandbox is if available.

@tonygarcia Not an outage, the team advised in another thread:

If you see an issue with simulator its related too:

-api over utilization during events

-cpu exhaustion

- firewall issue with PAT and port forwarding with incorrect html vs json response

If that happens we advise users to utilize the reservation based sandbox which is currently being upgraded to the latest version.

As is so often the case, no reservable instances have been available

Thanks for the responses.

@tonygarcia i think this is due to this being upgraded to be the same level as the always on, as i see this as zero capacity. Not meaning to bounce you around here, but you can download and install your own ACI sim https://www.cisco.com/site/us/en/products/networking/cloud-networking/application-centric-infrastructure/simulator/index.html
