Several government websites have been impacted by fire. But >90% was
operationnel during the same day after the incident.
There are DRP (seems to be working) and backups in other datacenters. There
must remain exceptions or minor things broken.
But I think it's a pretty good result.

It is terrible timing with the company planning an IPO and also because
the French government has heavily backed OVH. I think some government
websites went down. France has a statist tradition that leads it to get
involved in industries where has no expertise.

Statement (in French) from Octave Klaba, containing some discussion
of the development of the fire (starts at ~ 4:30):

English:
https://www.ovh.com/fr/images/sbg/index-en.html

and a few hundred of us hoping we never have to stand in front of that
camera to explain a similar incident

a few things stood out: where backups are located, the ability to build
a lot of new servers and the supporting infra, ...  but in a week or two
i hope he can tell us results of more analysis.
