5G: The outsourced elephant in the room

Excellent post by mr Hubert (of Powerdns fame) which paints a bleak picture on European 5g/lte infrastructure. I won't tl;dr it, needs to be read.

Flipping heck! That's serious downtime.
So Ericsson's fault? Fscked Kubernetes upgrade, who knows. At least it wasn't DNS. :)
Like that guy says, we see "how fragile" it all is. Thinking our whole civilisation basically hangs off a few threads can give one an anxiety attack.
 
I distinctly remember the O2 one; I was a giffgaff customer at the time and being in a deeply O2 Ericson zone, it hit HARD. No maps, no WhatsApp, no calls, no nothing. Can't remember how long it went on for now, I think it was a day or two tho.
 
Yeah, remember that day, also on Giffgaff. I think I got £2 of something compensation. :))

Lucky, I got nowt cos they loved me dearly obviously :)
 
Get the feeling the fragility of the West's infrastructure being highlighted like this is just giving China and Russia more idea's.
 
As yes I remember suffering the O2 outage thanks to Ericsson.
IIRC it was because they hadn't renewed a TLS encryption certificate :rolleyes:
