A config change gone bad?

That’s like failure scenarios 101. That should be the second on the list, after “code change gone bad”.

Exactly! Obviously they have extremely robust testing and error catching on things like code deploys: how many times do you think they deploy new code a day? And at least personally, their error rate is somewhere below 1%.

Clearly something about their networking infrastructure is not as robust.

Right? Especially on global scale. Something doesn't add up!

Curious/unfortunate timing. The day after a whistleblower docu and with a long list of other legal challenges and issues incoming.
