This episode explores the alarming trend of catastrophic, back-to-back outages in late 2025, including the AWS DNS failure, Microsoft’s Azure Front Door configuration cascade, and the Cloudflare collapse, all caused by configuration errors in highly concentrated edge services. We analyze how a single error in one cloud region can create a dependency avalanche that paralyzes thousands of third-party services across finance, healthcare, education, and transportation globally. Finally, we discuss why cloud providers must be classified and regulated as critical infrastructure and detail the urgent steps security leaders must take to implement multi-cloud resilience and manage systemic risk.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
