  • Damn, sorry guys, I just tried to restart my router. Didn't mean to accidentally reset EVERYTHING.

    What a bunch of amateurs... No system backups? By the way...Microsoft has nothing to do with it. CrowdStrike software caused this.

    I think people advocating cloud migration should have seen this coming, wasn't it common sense that if you consolidate every company's infrastructure to the same place then you are creating single point of failure and one mistake can knock out all together. But I am sure people won't learn a thing from this and still keep running towards migrating their infra to cloud service providers. Well live and learn.
