Condolences to any of you who have been affected by this. It looks
pretty bad - this appears to be a first class IT cock-up of the highest order:

How did we get to the point where so much of our infrastructure could be broken by like this by what appears to be one vendor's mistake.... This is the kind of outage that the likes of cloudstrike are supposed to protect us from!

Hope you all have not been badly affected by this, and that those of you in IT haven't had your weekends ruined by this.

Its evening here, I guess we'll see what is and is not working over here in NZ in about 8 hours when I get up tomorrow morning.
