Not for the rapid update that broke everything.
See post incident report:
How Do We Prevent This From Happening Again?
Software Resiliency and Testing
-
Improve Rapid Response Content testing by using testing types such as:
-
Local developer testing
-
Content update and rollback testing
-
Stress testing, fuzzing and fault injection
-
Stability testing
-
Content interface testing
-
Add additional validation checks to the Content Validator for Rapid Response Content.
-
A new check is in process to guard against this type of problematic content from being deployed in the future.
-
Enhance existing error handling in the Content Interpreter.
Rapid Response Content Deployment
-
Implement a staggered deployment strategy for Rapid Response Content in which updates are gradually deployed to larger portions of the sensor base, starting with a canary deployment.
-
Improve monitoring for both sensor and system performance, collecting feedback during Rapid Response Content deployment to guide a phased rollout.
-
Provide customers with greater control over the delivery of Rapid Response Content updates by allowing granular selection of when and where these updates are deployed.
-
Provide content update details via release notes, which customers can subscribe to.
