Interesting choice to spend the bulk of the article publicly shifting blame to a vendor by name and speculating on their root cause. Also an interesting choice to publicly call out that you're a whale in the facility and include an electrical diagram clearly marked Confidential by your vendor in the postmortem.

Honestly, this is rather unprofessional. I understand and support explaining what triggered the event and giving a bit of context, but the focus on your postmortem needs to be on your incident, not your vendor's.

Clearly, a lot went wrong and Flexential needs to do their own postmortem, but Cloudflare doesn't need to make guesses and do it for them, much less publicly.
