Listen "Ep. 10 - Risky Bidness: Ripped from the Headlines"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 0010 - Risky Bidness: Ripped from the Headlines In this episode, Carl and Brandon explored the recent CrowdStrike outage and the lessons to take from the event as it relates to high availability, business continuity, and disaster recovery (HA/BCDR) strategies in the cloud. The incident underscored the need for redundancy, swift response, and well-defined recovery procedures. Surprisingly, we drew parallels to the banana crisis of the 1950s. The monoculture of the Gros Michel banana left the industry vulnerable to Panama disease. The lesson? Diversity in dependencies matters—whether in tech or agriculture. Remember: HA/BCDR and diversity are key to resilience. 🎙️🍌🔒 Links: CrowdStrike IT Outage Explained by a Windows Developer | Dave’s Garage on YouTube CrowdStrike Update: Latest News, Lessons Learned from a Retired Microsoft Engineer | Dave’s Garage on YouTube Remediation and Guidance Hub: Falcon Content Update For Windows Hosts | CrowdStrike Build high availability into your BCDR strategy | Microsoft Docs, Azure Architecture Center Protect and recover in cloud management | Microsoft Docs, Cloud Adoption Framework Imperial Scaling Banana by smc | Printables Visit us at: twitter.com/CloudChatTech discord.cloudchat.tech [email protected] linkedin.com/company/cloudchat
