I heard that CloudStrike is something that runs on Windows servers, and an error with it caused a bunch of Win Servers to crash. What's the impact of the issue too?

I'm not a tech person, tho I do use Linux desktop, btw 😉

Great response, and matches with what I've been reading.

Holy shit, someone(s) at CrowdStrike have had a reeeeally bad end of the week!

Agreed. It is odd that CrowdStrike doesn’t seem to?? Please correct me. That they don’t have a test release and a general release.

Weird

It's definitely weird. They might well throw one out two developers and As under the bus for this event (I've seen this happen at other organizations - and such decisions smack of shitty management). But no matter how you look at it this is a company-wide failure. Because they didn't have the infrastructure and policies in place to test their changes properly.
