They seem to say that there is exactly one optical fiber going to exactly one device which is all of the connection of each of their datacenter.
Is that correct? That seems very single-point-of-failureish to me.
- Bedon292 5y agoI think its just a simplification. For the purposes of the article, it doesn't matter if its 1 or 100. They completely unplugged the network as a whole. Later in the article they do say 'began to reconnect the network fiber', which implies multiple connections to me. They also took reference photos and ordered backup hardware. So I definitely don't think it was a single connection.
- selfhoster69 5y agoI wonder where that cable comes from and who maintains it.
