Ask HN: How did the CrowdStrike glitch cause flights to be affected?
I understand the technical details of the issue, but would a single airline&#x27;s machines running the fix on their end not solve it?<p>Would the fix have to be deployed on every computer that existed, or just on cloud?<p>Also, did it affect downstream systems or individual computers?<p>As I understand, air traffic systems are not dependent on software so they would not be affected.<p>My understanding is that if the airline uses Microsoft&#x27;s workspace and also Azure for cloud, all of those things would have been affected and several other dependent systems would also have been compromised.<p>Is my understanding correct?
