In what world is it true that 2% is **not** a small number.
Yes, 2% is a small number. I'm not sure if you know what numbers or percentages are.
Percentages are specifically a relative measure of "the whole", so 2% is only 1/50th of the issue. Which is, as they say, small - at least compared to the other 49/50ths, or as we say, 98%.
It's not nothing - no - that would be 0%.

Nah, it's not working on the BA App. "We're currently unable to update your recent transactions".
What sort of an update required being off for a week.
Have they ever heard of staging environments and then just switching it to prod?
It's not like they can only run one web service and any changes they make have to be made to that running service...and that's it.
It's not a human heart.
Always makes me laugh when people say "you don't need storage, that's what the cloud's for".
Yeah...i'll be right on that, just as soon as I can have 20Mbps+, EVERYWHERE.
We're a million miles away from cloud storage being reliable ubiquitous primary storage. And by a million miles I mean 5-10. The networks are still favouring headline speeds over real world coverage. And no, I don't live in the sticks.
For those arguing about plug & pray can you please take note that pray and prey are different words, they are both plays on the original but for different reasons. Plug and pray predates USB exploits of course but plug and prey is referring to predation of targets using usb exploits. Now, shut up and get back on topic.
Reading some worrying stuff in the comments here.
1. "Not a big deal for embedded stuff as that should have ACLs or be on separate networks." - Yes it's good practice to separate user networks from back-end but that doesn't make this problem go away.
2. "It's already fixed/patched." - Oh lordy. Just because some distros have patched doesn't mean all your vulnerable hosts are insta-healed.
"Integrated servicemesh with AWS". No. They charge for connectors and integrating SM & AWS. We were quoted a six-figure sum to plug SM into AWS to manage a handful of servers. If it was integrated it would be ready to go and economical. They're claiming it but it's all still bespoke and made-up on the fly.
