Hi everyone, Within the last two weeks, my team and I have noticed many service degredations / outages on CircleCI, mainly related to provisioning VMs at the start of a job. This grinds our continuous deployment o a halt - luckily we can run all of our build/test/deploy programs locally, but it is a frustrating issue for the development team. Is there any insight or support that can be shared for dealing with this? I’m curious to see what’s going on because I think the last few service degradation have all been related to this one issue. I love using CircleCI as a product; I’m hoping we get some clarity and this get’s resolved soon. Appreciate any comments or feedback. Thanks, Zahid ---

Hello Zahid, If this is a major concern for you, perhaps you can create a little script to parse [https://status.circleci.com/](https://status.circleci.com/) and start your job only if everything is green? ( I am sure Circleci is already working hard every day to fix issues. ) ---

> [@mayu](#): > > perhaps you can create a little script to parse [https://status.circleci.com/](https://status.circleci.com/) Ha, on a total guess, I wondered if there was a machine readable version, and [it turns out there is](https://status.circleci.com/history.json). Woop! 😄 ---
