Meanwhile your customers are getting DDOS'ed while you are faffing about.
Yes, I fully agree that for things like software and standard network maintenance the above is good. But as someone else mentioned in this thread. DDoSes that require quick resolution put you between a rock and a hard place in terms of doing things "right"
- contingencies 14y agoThat's true. However, look at what happens to all of your customers when you fail to test. If you haven't limited, or at least tested the extreme ranges of allowable input to a system automatically pushing out live configuration to all of your routers, there's nobody else to blame but yourself. Sorry. Are most people this diligent? No. Should we be? Yes.
- rurounijones 14y agoI actually wondered about testing with extreme ranges in another comment, but this testing is done "offline" (Not on live routers and not in response to current circumstances). However, at least how I read it, your comment was about testing rules in consistently in dev -> staging -> prod when you create one which I think is not viable in this situation since you are on a very tight deadline with immediate impact on your customers.
