As jgrahamc (Cloudflare CTO) noted below, these aren't related. They had a push that they rolled back, we lost some fiber links.
Cloudflare took us down this morning, but also shielded us from the impact of this fiber cut, due to direct peering with google (I’m assuming over different fiber paths.)
I highly doubt Google are using CloudFlare networks. Must be just a coincidence.
or CloudFlare using GCP :)
Nah, CloudFlare runs on bare metal. They run their own data centers.
nope. cloudflare had a bad push / deployment.
"bad push / deployment" seems like it covers 108% of breakage.
sure. i believe you are 110% right on the 108% number :)
It's good we've built this massive decentralized network to withstand even major nuclear attacks only to have massive parts of it fail because we've put so much in a few centralized and failable hands.
