Cluster Bomb
Noun · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A dramatic slang term for a change or problem that scatters failures across many parts of a system at once. In ops conversations, it usually implies wide blast radius rather than one clean isolated outage.
In plain English: A change or failure that causes many problems across a system at once.
