EDIT: There's no tier 1 failure. My shits just fucked.
I don't have easy access to very much high level, non-public network data and information outside my organization. But, based on what I can see, it sure looks like at least one piece of the US fiber backbone has gone kaput.
I decided our small organization would react as if this were true. But, we really don't know and haven't had time to figure it out, yet.
The worst case scenario for regular people is that their shift gets cut today, possibly also tomorrow, because their assigned computer is fucked.
My place took a hit from this but it seems to be more to do with crowdstrike. They issued an update which caused machines to into reboot loops, requiring manual intervention. My assumption was microsoft uses crowdstrike internally and also took a hit
Article has been updated with the root cause - Crowdstrike. The reason is simple: Azure has tons of Windows systems that are protected with CrowdStrike Falcon. Crowdstrke released a bad version that is causing boot loops on Windows computers, including Windows VM servers.
Microsoft, Azure, and Crowdstrike have all stated the root cause at this point. Furthermore, this tells me most of the Falcon sensor installs are done bad, as we also use Crowdstrke and have ours set to "latest version - 1" to ensure this exact thing doesn't happen.
There aren't any backbone outages right now that are being discussed. Many servers that run MANY services are on Windows, using Crowdstrike. Flights, banks, entertainment (some Netflix, for example).
The overall result: it looks like a backbone outage, but isn't.
Thank you.
But, fuck. That means we screwed up primary design or someone broke the contract.
Gotta work today.
