Their most dangerous risks are rarely caused by one broken component. They emerge from the interaction of control planes, data planes, deployment automation, network topology, retry behavior, queueing dynamics, tenant workloads, and human operational decisions. In such systems, extreme risk means a low-frequency but high-consequence condition that can create nonlinear blast radius: regional degradation, global control-plane unavailability, cross-tenant impact, silent data corruption, large-scale isolation failure, or unrecoverable operational deadlock.
