Complete comms failure last night

Honestly, this sounds exactly like infrastructure at every business I’ve worked for. Guess that’s what people mean when they want to run government like a business

Correct. It’s a slap-dash setup done for expediency rather than reliability and even though several of these failures popped up during their testing even a couple weeks before cut over (they never bothered to tell us until after it failed for real) they deemed it 99.7% reliable.

That’s an abysmal reliability rating. At my last non-flying gig our cloud-based, non-critical systems were in breach of contract if we dropped below 99.99% reliability in certain cases- and this was just commercial - nothing safety or infrastructure related.

We weren’t able to deliver 5-nines at the user edge (we could at the core) without massive complexity and cost that made it not worth it.
 
Does that “99.7%” mean it’s a coin flip for (cumulatively) ~30 minutes per week if the service is available?
 
@NovemberEcho, have you seen the 1999 movie Ground Control with Kiefer Sutherland? I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this movie… It just popped up on TV.
