We published an incident report after our outage:

I have not yet seen an incident report from Rackspace.

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.

Has anyone seen details of the attack styles or volumes?  It would be helpful 
to share attack knowledge with the community so others know what to prepare for.

After the successful attacks against Rackspace, Namecheap, DNSsimple
and 1&1, it is clear that dDoS attacks against DNS servers are very
common this winter, and they succeed :-(
