Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues

Anyone seeing a link between AI-generated infra code and this year’s wave in popular service outages?

So they broke the internet. Nice! Never seen so many sites not working. Never seen so many desktop app suddenly stop working. I don't want to be the person responsible for this. And this again has thought me it's better to no rely on external services. Even though they seem to big to fail.

What do we actually lose going from cloud back to ground?

The mass centralization is a massive attack vector for organized attempts to disrupt business in the west.

But we’re not doing anything about it because we’ve made a mountain at of a molehill. Was it that hard to manage everything locally?

I get that there’s plenty of security implications going that route, but it would be much harder to bring down t large portions of online business with a single attack.

This sentence is slowly getting boring after all those recent outages: My web app hosted on Hetzner and BunnyCDN still works.

That shows, the distributed nature of the internet is still there. It is a problem though, if everything is funneled through one provider.

Touch grass.
