Update on 1/28 service outage
Am I the only one who is a little shocked that a power outage could have such a huge effect and bring them down for so long?  I'm not an infrastructure guy, and I don't know anything about Github's systems, but aren't data center power outages pretty much exactly the kind of thing you plan for with multi-region failover and whatnot. Is it actually frighteningly easy for kind of to happen despite following best practices?  Or is it more likely that there's more to the story than what they're sharing now?
