Very nice and detailed report, I have learned a lot of it!

Thank you for posting that (I'd forgotten I'd seen it). And thank you for the detailed report, not just describing the root cause (DDoS on DNS servers), but also revealing traffic type and volume (random subdomain attack at 50Mpps/25Gbps) and your internal procedure for responding to it (black-box monitoring to detect the outage, post status notice after 10 minutes, assemble team via a Hangout after 20 minutes, try various technical mitigations, etc). This level of detail is rare in a public report, but greatly appreciated. Hopefully others will learn from your example.

It would be helpful to share attack knowledge with the community so others know what to prepare for.
