Less than a week after the CrowdStrike bug that took out millions of Windows devices worldwide, Microsoft Azure is currently experiencing a partial outage that has taken portal.azure.com offline and taken down a number of products built in Azure. It will probably all be back online in a couple of hours, but not without significant disruption to business globally including several of our customers (thankfully the Ferrio platform is all clear). On the whole cloud uptime %s are better than on-prem and 100% uptime is simply unattainable, but it does highlight the risks of such globalised infrastructure.

We certainly cannot ignore today's incident in which a CrowdStrike (CRWD) update glitch caused a global IT outage via Microsoft (MSFT) cloud servers. It's clear that we will witness similar large-scale disruptions as the digitalization of all areas of activity continues. This further proves that we need to approach IT solutions individually and not always choose the most accessible option.
