IAM issue huh. The post-mortem should be interesting at least.

Ha. With all this soviet style euphemism I rather read the onion instead.

It’s not a euphemism - every outage, including the 99.9% that don’t end up on HN gets a postmortem document written about it, which is almost always a fascinating discussion of the technical, cultural and organisational situation that led to an unexpected bad thing happening.

Even a few years ago senior management knew to stay the fuck out except for asking for more info.
