Hey, I'm on Medial • 9m

I just want to highlight that while the Microsoft outage linked to Crowdstrike caused disruption worldwide, China and Russia remained largely unaffected. If you were to ask the reasons: 🔹 China has a major player in the tech industry called 21Vianet 🔹 This company acts as the exclusive operator for Microsoft Azure and Office 365 services within China 🔹 They essentially run separate versions of these Microsoft products on their own infrastructure, keeping some Chinese data and operations independent 🔹 Many Chinese firms do not rely on CrowdStrike, reducing vulnerability to its software issues. 🔹 Due to sanctions and ongoing political tensions, Russia has been actively developing its own domestic technology sector. 🔹 CrowdStrike has not provided services since early 2022 to Russian entities. 🔹 Russia has been increasing its reliance on local software, with major banks planning to boost domestic software usage to 95%. What's the future of global tech dependencies?

While tech has been a driving force for global integration, we're now seeing a push towards "digital sovereignty". The future might involve a more regionalized tech landscape, with countries or blocs developing their own ecosystems.

Chinese companies still rely heavily on global tech, just with more local control. This I feel is a more hybrid model might be the future for many countries - maintaining connections to global tech while ensuring some level of domestic control and data sovereignty.

This incident highlights the growing "balkanization" of the internet and tech infrastructure. While it may reduce vulnerabilities to global outages, it also raises concerns about data privacy, censorship, and the potential for increased government control.
