I don't understand why there is so much attention on the deployment and testing side of the coin. Yes, better testing and rollout strategy should have prevented this specific occurrence of a failure. But these strategies aren't bulletproof and things go wrong. You need defense in depth, and some responsibility has to lay on the consumer side for that to happen - particularly for fundamental humane industries like transportation and healthcare. These industries should not be allowed to run any software like this - privileged and without controlled rollouts. I'm all for shaming CrowdStrike's lack of focus on reliability, which they deserve, however there's a bigger issue here of trying to avoid or mitigate risky dependencies in the first place that I hope we also get to explore.
