To what extent, if at all, would have CrowdStrike's faulty update have been easier to deal with with an immutable distro? (lemmy.ml)

In the best case it could automatically reboot into working configuration.

And download the update again

How does Falcon store these channel files on Linux? I don't know how an immutable distro would handle this given CrowdStrike push several of these updates per day and presumably use their own infrastructure to deploy them.

I guess if you pay them enough they could customize the deployment to work with whatever infrastructure you have but it's all proprietary so I have no idea if they're really doing that anywhere.
