We present operational characteristics and failure data of several large-scale Internet services. Case studies and data are used to broaden the range of metrics used in this analysis. We found that operator-induced errors are most impacting and also the hardest failure to mask. Failure-mitigation techniques, such as configuration checking, online testing as well as fault/load injection, improve Internet service availability.
