All Deployments: Phone Call Delivery issues in Great Britain Region
Postmortem
Summary
On April 1st, 2022, at around 11:19 EDT, Duo's Engineering Team was alerted by monitoring that Authentication Phone Call Delivery started failing for GB and IN regions. The root cause was identified as an outage affecting one of our telephony providers’ downstream carriers.
The issue was almost immediately resolved for IN by switching to alternative telephony providers, however a failure on our GB alternative provider led us to further investigations and escalation. The incident with our primary provider was resolved later at 16:32 EDT

Details
Duo SRE was alerted for Authentication Phone Call Delivery failures in GB and IN. During investigation, Duo SRE discovered the alert was caused due to an outage affecting one of our telephony providers’ downstream carriers.
Duo SRE switched to secondary telephony provider for the affected customers in GB, IN. Duo SRE saw restoration of service almost immediately for IN but not for GB and hence escalated to both providers. Later, the issue was fixed and telephony routes were restored back to our primary provider.
Duo Engineering is working with telephony providers to ensure our routes are resilient to our customers whether through primary or secondary. The Duo SRE team in particular will be soon releasing a new system that will load balance traffic through our different providers to ensure resiliency for SMS and VOIP factors.
