There is no nuance needed - this is a giant corporation that sells kernel layer intermediation at global scale. You better be spending billions on bulletproof deployment automation because *waves hands around in the air pointing at whats happening just like with solarwinds*
Bottom line this was avoidable and negligent
For the record I owned global infrastructure as CTO for the USAF Air Operations weapons system - one of the largest multi-classification networked IT systems ever created for the DoD - even moreso during a multi-region refactor as a HQE hire into the AF
So I don’t have any patience for millionaires not putting the work in when it’s critical infrastructure
People need to do better and we need accountability for people making bad decisions for money saving
Almost everything that goes wrong in the world is avoidable one way or the other. Simply stating "it was avoidable" as an axiom is simplistic to the point of silliness.
Lots of very smart people have been hard at work to prevent airplanes from crashing for many decades now, and planes still crash for all sorts of reasons, usually considered "avoidable" in hindsight.
Nothing is "bulletproof"; this is a meaningless buzzword with no content. The world is too complex for this.
