"CrowdStrike said it also plans to move to a staggered approach to releasing content updates so that not everyone receives the same update at once, and to give customers more fine-grained control over when the updates are installed."
Hol up. So they like still get to exist? Microsoft and affected industries just gonna kinda move past this?
Haven't seen anything from the affected major players. Obviously Crowdstrike isn't going to say they are fucked long term, they have to act like this is just a little hiccup and move on. Lawsuits are absolutely incoming
We'll see how fucked they are from SLA breaches/etc., and then we'll see how many companies jump ship to an alternative. We won't have the real fallout from this event for months or years.
Newsflash, Solarwinds still exists too. Not sure I could name a company that screwed up so big and actually paid the price.
Yeah, what was I thinking. United airlines was bankrupt and literally beating people up on their planes and still got taxpayer payouts and is around paying investors divends still today.
Two days ago my company sent out an all hands email that we're going company wide with Crowdstrike.
Nows the time to sign up. They'll slash prices and hopefully never fuck up this bad again.
Have we had a XaaS fuck up real, real bad, twice, yet?
I wasn't effected but I bet a lot of admins, as pissed as they were, were thinking "I could easily fuck up this bad or worse".
Yeah, what's the jokey parable thing?

Companies using CrowdStrike and Windows aren't really the type to be active about this sort of thing.
What do you mean by this?
The companies who use CrowdStrike (lazy fix) on Windows (garbage OS) aren't really the type to want to switch away from it (will take effort)
I don’t understand the downvotes. You’re right on all points. If the task is too big, it can take years from testing another solution to using it for real.
