I find it rather odd to have a GLOBAL 500 even for a minute (it may be still lasting at least in some regions <a href="http://downdetector.com/status/youtube" rel="nofollow">http://downdetector.com/status/youtube</a>) when a web app is distributed among servers, services, dockers or whatever and has so many systems in place to roll back automatically.<p>The same thing happened about a week ago with Fb Messenger (<a href="http://downdetector.com/status/facebook/news/53463-problems-at-facebook" rel="nofollow">http://downdetector.com/status/facebook/news/53463-problems-...</a>).<p>I expect this level of outages in 2016 to be only caused by solar flares, am I missing something?
Also lots of people on twitter are complaining.

I imagine a network operations intern at YouTube turn in his chair, face totally flush.<p>"Did I just accidentally reboot every webapp server for the entire site!? I hope nobody notices."
That's funny, I've had youtube on for all the morning and didn't notice anything. Hooray for one hour long compilation videos (and caches).
