So there was apparently an Azure outage prior to this big one. One thing that is a pretty common pattern in my company when there are big outages is something like this:
1. Problem A happens, it’s pretty bad
2. A fix is rushed out very quickly for problem A. It is not given the usual amount of scrutiny, because Problem A needs to be fixed urgently.
3. The fix for Problem A ends up causing Problem B, which is a much bigger problem.
tl;dr don’t rush your hotfixes through and cut corners in the process, this often leads to more pain
