I hear you, but …
… what’s now core fabric of the internet (cloudflare) shouldn’t be suseptable to a single vendors data center going down to - knock out their service.
It create a situation where an attacker now knows all they need to do is target that single data center (PDX), cloudflare will go down, and now they can attack any website previously protected by cloudflare.
I’m not trying to be a hater.
I’m just trying to call out, it’s a bit unfair to solely point the figure at this data center provider when architecturally this issue shouldn’t exist in the first place.

- vlovich123 3y agoJust to be clear - only the config plane was updated (e.g. making changes to how products worked at the edge, creating new tokens for some services etc). The edge data plane itself is immune to this kind of failure (i.e. no websites protected by cloudflare went down as a result of this).
