In an end-to-end service delivery chain, isolated changes can have broad consequences. This played out recently when an erroneous SSL certificate change at Microsoft appeared to cause a SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business outage.

While this incident definitely underscores the importance of valid security certificates, it’s also a reminder of what can happen when even one component in an end-to-end service delivery chain experiences issues. Every component needs to work in sync to maintain the service’s availability. 

As a result, all changes, especially manual ones, should be made with care and teams should have a deep understanding of every dependency and interconnection within their service delivery chain.

Watch this week’s episode to learn more and explore other recent outages that impacted Slack, Starbucks, and NASA.
