Why watch

Azure CTO Mark Russinovich discusses real-world cloud resilience challenges, from a 2014 near-outage caused by an Xbox performance fix to the new risks AI agents introduce to traditionally deterministic systems. The conversation covers Azure's approach to intentional failure testing, how machine learning redefined service health monitoring, and physical data center failures at scale. Ideal for cloud architects, DevOps engineers, and technical leaders building or managing resilient distributed systems.
