It's pretty bad -- I can't really find anything that works. VMs, storage, everything is hard down.

  It's kinda bad, because cooling infrastructure when stretched can still cool some stuff, just less... So they ought to be able to still keep some services up for some users. They should have already practiced that as part of their emergency procedures, because they'd need to do the same is they had a severe limit on power use (eg. Due to a nationwide electricity or fuel shortage).

    > So they ought to be able to still keep some services up for some users. Wouldn't that depend on what exactly broke here? If the cooling of the power system failed, they might end up without power for example, impacting everything.

      I suspect it wasn't that the cooling broke, but that the cooling couldn't keep up. Ie. The cooling could only remove XX kilowatts of heat, but that the equipment in a particular room was producing more than that.
