Comment on Reproducing the AWS Outage Race Condition with a Model Checkerparent

Yes, any analysis after an incident has the benefit, and bias, of hindsight.

But I see this post less as an incident analysis and more as an experiment in learning from hindsight. The goal, it seems, isn’t to replay what happened, but to show how formal methods let us model a complex system at a conceptual level, without access to every internal detail, and still reason about where races or inconsistencies could emerge.
