MIT’s Senior House dormitory closes, and a crisis blooms at colleges 9 years ago
Senior House alum here...
You are load balancing 5 servers. One has a latency issue that causes response time to be 2x the others. What do you do? You wait, it goes to 4x. Now what?
You take it offline, spin up a new instance and investigate.
MIT put them on notice (a year earlier), there was no attempt to improve and the bluff was called.
I wish this wasn't happening, but sometimes you have to actually DO something.
