    The Cloudflare outage comes less than a month after a huge Amazon Web Services crash took down Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat, and other services, which was followed by issues at Microsoft Azure that brought Xbox offline for hours.

    A clear demonstration that the centralisation and over-reliance of the internet into a few corporate hands is a bad idea.

      followed by issues at Microsoft Azure that brought Xbox offline for hours.

      It’s funny how this is how the Azure outage is described. All of my customers were locked out of their M365 admin portals all day. But won’t you think of the poor Xbox users.

      As L2 support at a CSP for M365 customers, that day was fucking terrible.
