This really isn't dangerous unless you already screwed up badly. If it wipes, you just restore from backup/DR.
You do have backups and a DR plan for your prod servers, right?
Same.
Didn't some company have a script running that would randomly kill stuff to always test redundancies?
I vaguely recall someone telling me that about netflix
Edit: https://github.com/Netflix/chaosmonkey
that's like starting fires on random properties to make sure your firefighters stay on their toes
Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today
I vaguely remember reading a news story about a firefighter that did that a while ago.
Sure do! They're on the prod servers and were one of the first things deleted!
the backup was connected via /media/backups so that's gone too!
Not sure, do I?
