A client brought something to my attention today.
http://support.cloudfoundry.com/entries/20067876-analysis-of-april-25-and-26-2011-downtime

April 25th, ok I can understand that, it sort of makes sense but the
big question is this.

WTF can you type to do what happened on April 26th?
The only thing I can think of is this.

vi ./endjob.sh

#!/bin/bash

for i in cat /etc/hosts
do
sudo ssh $i "rm -rf / && reboot now"
done
echo "Your work here is done, please collect your check on the way out
the door."

ctrl+q y

./endjob.sh

Note:  I realize this wouldn't run as is.

Still on a more serious note, how can "the cloud" keep suffering from
single points of failure like this?
First amazons cloud, now vmware, it's getting a bit ridiculous.
