Is it me or has there been a very noticeable uptick in large scale infra-level outages lately? AWS, Cloudflare, etc have all been way under whatever SLA they publish.

For me the only silver lining to all these cloud outages is now we know that their published SLA times mean absolutely nothing. The number of 9's used to at least give an indication of intent of reliability, now they are twisted to whatever metric the company wants to represent and dont actually represent guaranteed uptime anywhere.

A colleague of mine just came bursting through my office door in a panic, thinking he brought our site down since this happened just as he made some changes to our Cloudflare config. He was pretty relieved to see this post.

Is there a word for that feeling of relief when someone else fucked up after initially thinking it was you?

Maybe this isn’t great, but I get a hint of that feeling when I’m on an airplane and hear a baby crying. For a number of years, if I heard a baby crying, it was probably my baby and I had to deal with it. But now my kids are past that phase, so when I hear the crying, after that initial jolt of panic I realize that it isn’t my problem, and that does give me the warm fuzzies. Even though I do feel bad for the baby and their parents.
