I could totally get into “Ops Thriller” genre of novels like this.

    There are often little bits of Neal Stephenson or Andy Weir novels which sound a little like this, describing a technical fault in a plot-driven way (often as a cascade), and I do find those to be uniquely enjoyable. I'm sure there are other authors who do similar things, though maybe "cloud/AI data center" stories should be its own micro-genre, given how crucial these things are to society.

  It’s old but “The Cuckoo's Egg” was a great read and had a lot of this. Oh and it was true.
