So this is the second high profile outage in the last month caused by a simple command line mistake.

> Unfortunately, one of the inputs to the command was entered incorrectly and a larger set of servers was removed than intended.

If I would have guessed anyone could prevent mistakes like this from propagating it would be AWS. It points to just how easy it is to make these errors. I am sure that the SRE who made this mistake is amazing and competent and just had one bad moment.

While I hope that AWS would be as understanding as Gitlab, I doubt the outcome is the same.
