Outage caused by single admin mortifies cloud provider Joyent

2014-05-28 14:25:09| InfoWorld: Top News

Cloud provider Joyent suffered an outage on Tuesday after an administrator was able to simultaneously reboot all virtual servers hosted in the company's US-East-1 data center. "It should go without saying that we're mortified by this. While the immediate cause was operator error, there are broader systemic issues that allowed a fat finger to take down a datacenter," said Bryan Cantrill, CTO at Joyent, in a post on Hacker News.
