Comment on Cloudfare outage post mortem
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks agoHow about an hour? 10 minutes? Would have prevented this. I very much doubt that their service is so unstable and flimsy that they need to respond to stuff on such short notice. It would be worthless to their customers if that were true.

5 minutes of uninterrupted DDoS traffic from a bot farm would be pretty bad.

5 hours from an unintentional update is even worse.

It wasn’t an unintentional update though, it was an intentional update with a bug.

Edited. My point still stands.

Significantly better than several hours od most of the internet being down.

Maybe not updating bot mitigation fast enough would cause an even bigger outage. We don’t know from the outside.
