These massive "cloud" outages will continue to happen, inevitably, because they are "normal accidents":

Any system that:
- is complex,
- is tightly coupled, and
- has catastrophic potential

…can be expected to experience catastrophic failures. AWS, Google Cloud, #Microsoft #Azure check all these boxes.

Fun fact: Internet was specifically designed to *not* be like that. It was designed to be loosely coupled.

But that's not as good for maximizing shareholder value!
