The blog post is weird. "Rogers didn't even try, so OOB is hard."
Also this sentence makes me question his IQ:
"Some people have gone so far as to suggest that out of band network management is an obvious thing that everyone should have"
Yes Chris, Rogers, the monopoly telco company of Canada, should have OOB network! They can afford it.
Talking about the challenges of OOB is great, but the point the blog post is wrong and dumb.
The report says "Rogers had a management network that relied on the Rogers IP core network". They had no OOB network. They didn't even try.
This is a a symptom of Rogers status as a monopoly, negligence on the behalf of Rogers, and negligence on the behalf of the government who should have regulated OOB into existence. This is some serious clown car shit.
One of the advantages that competitor networks provides is redundancy. Canada doesn't have that, so their networks will remain weak. This will probably happen again some day.
Yes OOB is hard, but not even trying and then throwing up your hands and defending the negligent is stupid.
