What did you make of Mudge's report regarding resiliency of data-centers?
> Insufficient data center redundancy, 59 without a plan to cold-boot or
recover from even minor overlapping data center failure, raising the risk of
a brief outage to that of a catastrophic and existential risk for Twitter's
survival.
Thanks! There was a lot in that and I didn't follow it closely. Honestly that always confused me about the dc failing prep. Like I get that it would be a good idea to have a documented plan but at the same time, we did lose a whole DC and figured out how to recover(not that it was that easy) Im not sure having a cold boot prep plan would have helped that much. The things that failed that I dealt with personally during that event, I don't know if I would have foreseen. The site went on afterwards so it didn't seem to be existential.
