Welcome Back to the Survival Networking Series
Hey! This series, Survival Networking, explores what it really takes to build and operate global-scale networks that survive multi-terabit failures, software bugs, policy misfires, and everything in between.
If you're just joining, I recommend starting with the first two installments:
Survival Networking: What I Learned About Resilience at Scale from FAANG. We unpacked the illusion of HA and showed why survivability starts with systemic thinking.
Survival Networking: Resilience at Scale – Part 2. We explored how hyperscalers constrain failure domains, re-route at scale, and validate intent before change.
Today’s post delves into real-world global failover strategies, the engines that simulate intent, and the Git-backed pipelines that enforce safety by design, not by accident.
Let’s keep going.
