No details? I say we assume it was an expired certificate outage.
- yuvadam 11mo agoInteresting idea, but their PR piece mentions a "failure at a primary data center" which at face value does not sound like a cert issue, and CT logs for *.alaskaair.com show lots of certs issued every single day, but nothing that seems mission critical around October 23 or 24.
- asplake 11mo agoAre you saying that it isn’t always DNS?
- gjvc 11mo agothis is a cute meme, but for the past 10 years, SSL configurations have been at the root of problems for what seems like the majority of cases of unexpected, sudden, service interruptions. YMMV.
- dotancohen 11mo agoIf I'm managing a small company and I absolutely do not want to have this issue, what should I learn?

- dotancohen 11mo agoThank you
- alaskalol 11mo agoThey ran a project to try to modernize that but it is still very far behind. Many certs are manually updated and only discovered broken when they expired and due to 2 year max on azure (or is it 18 months) it's happening more and more now.
