A fire at an Alibaba datacenter in Singapore, caused by a Li-ion battery explosion, resulted in disruptions of some online services and cloud products.
The explosion of lithium batteries led to a fire that significantly affected the services and operational integrity of Alibaba Cloud, causing abnormal service levels.
Despite the fire, Alibaba stated that their disaster recovery protocols functioned effectively, with high-availability cloud products largely meeting service levels, although manual intervention was required for some workloads.
Singapore's Civil Defence Force responded promptly with evacuation protocols activated, ensuring all personnel were safely evacuated from the datacenter without any reported injuries.
