I haven’t seen a simultaneous outage as big as this in my entire life. I’m just hoping this gets enterprises to move off of Windows.


Except it hasn't got much to do with Windows... its a faulty kernel software package from a commercial vendor unrelated to the OS.

Philosophically it's always good to have diversity, precisely to avoid such disruptions. But the real issue here is: A) Apparently half the world runs CloudStrike... So everything is disrupted. B) Apparently CloudStrike didn't test their update properly.

I'm very curious what will happen to CloudStrike. This seems like a huge liability?


We don't know that yet


We do now, hahaha

Delta is going after CrowdStrike, and I doubt they'll be the last.
