When were the previous ones? I've been aware of Cloudflare and AWS outages as we use them, but thought that up until today Fastly hadn't had a massive outage.

Ditto on the constant care. And the Ops comment on brittle 3rd party modules is spot on. I went back to a shell script to configure our developer VMs when I realised I was spending more time debugging Ansible updates than scripting it mysel
