@realcaseyrollins this meshes well with earlier reports that overloading of certain servers was part of the issue:
> So far, the problem appeared to be a configuration update that resulted in some servers becoming overloaded and taken offline, Microsoft indicated.
>
> When the company attempted to apply a fix, servers that had come back online again became unresponsive when traffic began returning to them.

@realcaseyrollins so, this looks like a cascading failure related to network misconfiguration of some sort. Say you have a cluster of servers handling a bunch of traffic, some servers suddenly disappear, and the traffic then overloads the remaining ones.
This was not "server status API" going down, but an actual outage of actual servers handing production traffic.
@rysiek, I see that in one place they almost use a sane date format.
Almost.
Just needs the century, or it could reasonably be read as 26/11/2013…
@rysiek They’re just rebooting Skynet. :)
@rysiek Shit. Hey, Gander NL! You might be up again!
@rysiek I see "NO Advisory." There doesn't seem to be a Wayback snapshot for 26/11/13 20:54.
@rysiek
It does sound bad.
US FAA grounds all departing flights due to extraordinary circumstance, safety reasons

> The US Federal Aviation Administration issued a national ground stop of all departing flights on Friday "due to extraordinary circumstance and reasons for safety" after the agency earlier reported serious air traffic control communications issues.
@rysiek FAA's antiquated systems, cascading to other vital root infrastructure being neglected by the wealthiest #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy...
What a dull surprise - more #Capitalism #grift.
@rysiek "Friday was the second nationwide ground stop of all departures since the September 11, 2001, attacks."
"the agency earlier reported serious air traffic control communications issues." 🙈🙈🙈🙈
They seriously rely on #Microsoft cloud to operate planes? What is this world?
@rysiek przynajmniej udało im się wypchnąć :)
