Bots, Bursts, And Bare Metal: Because The Internet Wanted Drama
Description
We break down Cloudflare’s outage, why a small config change caused big waves, and what better guardrails could look like. We then unpack AWS and Google’s cross‑cloud link, Megaport’s move into bare metal and GPUs, Webex adding deepfake defenses, and a new startup aiming to tune AI networks at microsecond speed.
• Cloudflare outage root cause and fallout
• Automation guardrails, validation and rollbacks
