System for cloud-based service outage detection and verification

A method for cloud-based service outage detection and verification, comprising:

• receiving, over a data communications network, cloud service provider outage information indicating a possible cloud outage at a cloud service provider, wherein the information comprises new content on a website associated with the cloud service provider;
• generating outage data comprising a third party cloud service provider identification and an outage characteristic, wherein the outage characteristic is identified from the new content and identifies an outage type;
• and
• identifying at least one entity implicated in the possible cloud outage, wherein the identifying comprises identifying an entity that subscribes to cloud services provided by the cloud service provider by querying a database that stores information related to the cloud service provider;
• and
• providing information to the at least one entity confirming the possible cloud outage, wherein the confirming is based at least in part on the new content.

A system for cloud-based service outage detection and verification, comprising:

• a database that stores third party cloud service outage information;
• a system memory;
• and
• a processor that is operatively coupled to the database and the system memory;
• the processor being configured to:
• receive, over a data communications network, cloud service provider outage information indicating a possible cloud outage at a cloud service provider, wherein the information comprises new content on a website associated with the cloud service provider;
• generate outage data comprising a third party cloud service provider identification and an outage characteristic, wherein the outage characteristic is identified from the new content and identifies an outage type;
• identify at least one entity implicated in the possible cloud outage, wherein the identifying comprises identifying an entity that subscribes to cloud services provided by the cloud service provider by querying a database that stores information related to the cloud service provider;
• and
• provide information to the at least one entity confirming the possible cloud outage, wherein the confirming is based at least in part on the new content.
