"Dear dev-ops and admins, who are mostly overworked and close to burnout: DON'T PANIC!
These clouds have nothing to do with your work, but quite the opposite, they are supposed to lead you back to the original meaning of the word. So scroll calmly through this thread and let yourself fall into deep relaxation until your state of mind corresponds to a small pink fluffy cloud and breathe serenely in and out again ..in and out .."

Explanation:
When do cloud bottoms appear like bubbles? Normally, cloud bottoms are flat. This is because moist warm air that rises and cools will condense into water droplets at a specific temperature, which usually corresponds to a very specific height. As water droplets grow, an opaque cloud forms. Under some conditions, however, cloud pockets can develop that contain large droplets of water or ice that fall into clear air as they evaporate. Such pockets may occur in turbulent air near a thunderstorm. Resulting mammatus clouds can appear especially dramatic if sunlit from the side. The mammatus clouds pictured here, lasting only a few minutes, were photographed over Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, just after a storm in 2012.
