Impact Assessment
- Affected users: subset of customers on the primary region.
- Duration of degradation: approximately 51 minutes.
- No data loss or unauthorized access detected.
Root Cause
An unvalidated configuration deployment removed a required health-check rule, routing traffic to an unhealthy node pool.
Corrective Actions
Rolled back the configuration, restored healthy routing, and added a mandatory pre-deployment validation gate for load balancer changes.
Preventive Measures
- Add automated regression checks for the failure path.
- Tighten alert thresholds to shorten detection time.
- Run a post-incident review with all stakeholders.
