⚠️ ru-7a and ru-7b are separate physical cloud segments in Moscow, not necessarily mirrors.
Yet BOTH experienced network problems.
Why? A shared controller failure or cascading overload could affect both.
Selectel hasn’t disclosed a root cause. These are hypotheses, not findings.

Once data centres were on the table, I don't know why they would have gone for anything else. Should finished off the rest of Yandex, then VK, Selectel, K2, Sberbank & VTB in as rapid succession as possible to maximally hinder chances of recovery. They were taunted into oil strikes, while on a roll.

Seems you got that wish for a strike on Sberbank Saratov!
I haven't seen damage assessments, but it sounds like they're still online.
Hope their DR environments are hit next.
There's also VK Cloud, Selectel, and K2 to go.

And as you'd know then - societies consistently underestimate how much hidden IT keeps the wheels from fall off the modern world around them. Even in somewhere as backward as Russia. I hope Ukraine doubles down on the data centre campaign.
