[tazjin]

It's interesting to see it go down. There's some chaos involved, but from my perspective it's the constructive[0] kind.

If you're interested in how these sorts of incidents are managed, check out the SRE Book[1] - it has a chapter or two on this and many other related topics.

Disclosure: I work in Google Cloud, but not SRE.

Our own version of Netflix's "Chaos Money" is named "Eris" for precisely the reason mentioned in your first footnote.
