Last time that happened, all of the OLD projects cloud variables stayed broken, and so only the NEW projects cloud variables had worked. So if this scenario happens again, that just means MORE current cloud variable projects will stay broken over time, again and again…….. and again…..

I REALLY hope that this is something they can fix on all sides, and not just “another workaround for only a new generation of cloud based projects”..

Seems that Cloud Data is down again:

swee@peppermint:~$ ping clouddata.scratch.mit.edu
ping: clouddata.scratch.mit.edu: Name or service not known

DNS still exists, though:

swee@peppermint:~$ dig clouddata.scratch.mit.edu

It isn’t that bad tbh the worst that can happen is that you just need to rename vars no sweat

I wish it doesn't happen again, do you mean that old cloud variables are like more than a year old?

Seems to be a DNS issue - clouddata.scratch.mit.edu (the scratch cloud server) points to d3tm0m070ovcf4.cloudfront.net, which has no IP assigned, so scratch can't access the cloud server. You might be able to directly use the old IP (with a proper Host header) to connect to the cloud server, but it's pointless because no one else will on it.

As you may seen in today's announcement, we deployed a new version of the Cloud Data server. Most of this is code reorganization, and some performance improvements, so there may be a few glitches in this new version. Please report in this thread if you face any glitches. Remember to include information about your operating system, browser, and a link to your project.

Also, I know that some people have reported slowdown of Cloud variable updates recently. Please report those here as well, especially if you used to get faster speeds, but now Cloud variable updates lag significantly.

[Updated 08/30/2013: Based on your reports, I fixed a bunch of problems. Thanks, and keep more of these reports coming in (still working on the glitches that have been already reported, and are still not fixed). For a list of what changed, check out this forum post: http://scratch.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/discuss/topic/14722/ ]

Note from Paddle2see - In February of 2018, an update was done to Cloud variables that limits the length of them to 256 characters, as well as a few other restrictions. Please see this post for more information. This should not be reported as a bug. Thanks!
