Experts from Gartner, Cloudian, and other industry watchers say the massive, yet relatively brief Fastly cloud outage shows some of the resilience of the cloud but also what is at stake if it breaks.

According to Fastly, a software deployment in May introduced a bug that could be, and was, triggered by a specific, yet normal set of circumstances.
