It sure feels like there have been quite a few big outages this summer (Google in particular). I wonder if they are getting sloppy or this is just bad luck?

My gut reaction is that many companies make the majority of their income/deals during the fall/winter/spring (think back to school shopping, Christmas, re-signing contracts for the next year, tax season, etc.) Thus, many companies try to make major infrastructure changes during the summer, when there will be a slightly smaller negative impact on the business's bottom line in case something does go wrong.

My take is that many people are out on vacation during the summer months and sometimes things break (or break harder than usual) when certain knowledgeable people aren't available.

Just as I was implementing and testing high-priority Google SSO changes at work... it goes down :-)

You broke Google. I hope you feel good about yourself.
