External audit claim

The separate FailZero.io site says each failover is recorded with trigger identity, timing, executed steps and results.Read 15 Oct 2026 · failzero.io

External identity note

A separate FailZero.io site advertises a different automatic-failover product using an npx @failzero/cli command, so the two domains should not be assumed to describe the same implementation.Read 15 Oct 2026 · failzero.io

Limit: domain reuse

Arch Linux lists failzero.net as the hostname for a Tier 2 Canadian mirror, showing that the domain name also appears in an unrelated infrastructure context.Read 15 Oct 2026 · archlinux.org

Limit: misleading company metadata

That LinkedIn page gives the firearms brand 51–200 employees, Palm City headquarters and a 2008 founding year; those details are not established for failzero.net.Read 15 Oct 2026 · linkedin.com

Limit: name collision

LinkedIn's FailZero company page identifies a Palm City firearms brand owned by UCT Coatings, not the disaster-recovery service at failzero.net.Read 15 Oct 2026 · linkedin.com

Limit: unrelated mirror outages

Arch Linux's mirror page records connection timeouts and no-route errors for stygian.failzero.net in July 2026; this concerns the mirror service, not the DRaaS product.Read 15 Oct 2026 · archlinux.org

Network failover

Failover workflows include VRRP pairs, DNS switching, TTL-aware cutovers and health-driven routing.Read 15 Oct 2026 · failzero.net

Notable limits

The FAQ says niche or closed stacks such as SAP, Exchange, and Oracle require partner integration.Read 7 Oct 2026 · failzero.net

Platform limitation

The provider repeatedly describes the product as Linux-native and says supported stacks must be Linux-native.Read 15 Oct 2026 · failzero.net

Recovery drills

It uses runbooks and genesisctl to run recovery drills that restore services, switch DNS, check health, and produce evidence artifacts.Read 7 Oct 2026 · failzero.net

The homepage states typical container-stack recovery time of 15–30 minutes and critical-data recovery-point objectives of 15 minutes or less.Read 15 Oct 2026 · failzero.net

Runbook model

The provider says it codifies customer runbooks in genesisctl, restores into an isolated target and runs health checks before delivering evidence.Read 15 Oct 2026 · failzero.net

Security and integrity

The site lists immutable retention, hash verification, signed hash manifests, and restores into an isolated target during drills.Read 7 Oct 2026 · failzero.net
