IT Outage

[DaveF]

Breaking news this AM. Large outage affecting many systems. Planes grounded, Sky off air, cloud services hit...

Let's hope the trusty BBC Micro that runs .net remains unaffected

Just woke up to this and thinking is this some kind of cyber attack? But apparently some kind of anti virus update that's gone wrong which suggests it's something Microsoft will have done as I am guessing most of these systems will run on Windows?

Y2k took its time 🤣

So it's not just the IT department at my work who cause a total cluster**** when they do an update then?

Sounds like someone just badly ****ed up a release in Azure but they’ve reverted back the change. This is the sort of thing that’s just not meant to happen in the Cloud Computing world. You deploy changes to one region and if it fails it doesn’t impact your whole network.

All these issues could have been resolved by switching it off and on again, problem solved.

Sounds like is was CrowdStrike that has caused the issues.

This sort of thing has been coming as companies invest less and less in QC. I'm quite surprised there haven't been more of these incidents TBH.

I’m not tech savvy in the slightest and I’m barely understanding the issue that’s happened today but how long is any impact likely to be? I’m flying to Perth on Thursday so a little worried

Thanks, hopefully resolved today for everyone’s sake 👍🏻

For services that need to be reliable, time to dump Microsoft and switch to Linux.
Been done before in so many places where reliability was considered essential
