- sargun 12y agoYeah, there was an excellent ACM article with him, and Bailis. I think if the network starts to partition, or fail in a datacenter, that's time to evacuate the datacenter / AZ. If a handful of machines fail, they should disengage. If more than say, 5% of the machines in the DC are having reachability issues at any given point (in a modern DC that's like ~2000 machines), it's time to shut it down.
