DESCRIPTION:It was the night of 10 March 2021\, and I had only just fallen 
 asleep. A notification woke me. Then another\, then another. Different ser
 vers\, different workloads\, but all with one thing in common: the same da
 ta centre.\nI got up to check. A temporary connectivity issue? Then a twee
 t: a fire had gutted SBG2. It was threatening SBG1\, SBG3 and SBG4 as well
 .\nMy wife looked at me and asked if I wanted a coffee. I nodded. The miss
 ion was simple to state and much harder to carry out: bring the critical s
 ervices back up before 8\, and restore everything else as quickly as possi
 ble.\n\nIt was going to be a long day.\n\nIn this talk\, I will tell the s
 tory of what happened that night: the recovery\, the architectural choices
  that saved us and the ones that turned out to be fragile at the very wors
 t moment\, because people usually only talk about the ones that worked.\nA
 bove all\, I will explain why\, ever since\, I have looked at BSD systems 
 not as mere operating systems\, but as practical tools for building infras
 tructure that is simpler\, easier to understand and more resilient. That n
 ight\, I learned that first hand.
