so
if github had an outage
and was offline for 48 hours
what would catch fire?
if there was a bgp fuckup, and github was misrouted to anthropic, how many cicd pipelines would catch fire because claude is built in now?
if us-east-1 went offline for a week, what happens?
how many companies are you aware of that had "oh fuck someone actually blew up the datacenter" in their threat model or DR recovery efforts?
how many are like "whatevs, our shit is in the cloud and all the contract language has us well protected against lawsuits if shit goes down"?
how many do you think realize that attitude towards technology solves for "the lawsuits after the fact" but does absolutely zero for business continuity?
@Viss my favourite dr scenario included that the primary dc was under a flight path. and *all* of IT was within yards of that dc.
the COO could not wrap his head around why my planning included non-IT-folks levels of documentation in case, you know, plane+dc interaction.
still they went cloudy since then so it's all safe from harm and outages now /s
