Endigest AI Core Summary
Cloudflare outlines its 'Code Orange: Fail Small' resilience plan following two major network outages in November and December 2025.
•Both outages were caused by instant global propagation of configuration changes via Quicksilver, bypassing the staged rollout process used for software releases.
•The plan introduces controlled, health-mediated deployments (HMD) for all configuration changes, mirroring the multi-gate process already used for binary releases.
•Service interface contracts will be reviewed to ensure failures in one component (e.g., Bot Management) do not cascade across unrelated systems.
•Default fallback behaviors will be defined at each service boundary so traffic continues to flow even when a module fails.
•Internal 'break glass' procedures and circular dependencies in tooling access will be redesigned to speed up incident resolution.
