Israel and USA provoked the destruction of so many people, just like Russia. Purest for of evil, nothing can be done against such an evil force.

cloud providers design for software failures and network partitions. they do not design for drone strikes. the redundancy model assumes your availability zones won't get hit by the same military operation.

Thats what regions are for... AZ downtime is one thing, if you loose the region, you should be able to bring up your services in another region.

Seems like a great opportunity for the "Boring Co" to start specializing in digging underground bunkers for data centers. You KNOW our AI Overlords are going to want it!

Datacenters under ground have similar problem to datacenters in the space - it is hard to cool them down.
