Description: Dylan from Overmind will spend five minutes explaining a complex Cloudfront outage that exposed the personal data of more than a hundred thousand people. Then another five minutes explaining the AI techniques that we used to simulate this exact outage using off-the-shelf models and live infrastructure state, which would have allowed them to prevent it before it ever happened.
