That would probably just detonate the US economy.
it absolutely would tank the economy… the number of businesses just running their shit from that one region is insane… and practically none of them learned any lessons from previous outages. Turns out it isn’t really all that cost-effective if you have to replicate shit across multiple regions once you hit a certain amount of data/traffic.
I know it would take our company down. I don’t think they’re even replicated across availability zones

Normally when a missile flies through the skin it passes harmlessly through the clouds. My data is safe!

I’ve been offline for about 5 days. Can anyone give me a quick run down of what’s happened since then?
Did Iran actually start bombing tech companies?
They attacked AWS data centers in the region very recently.
Good
Yes, they’ve hit a number of AWS and Oracle datacenters now
Glorious
I didn’t watch the recent terminator anime but I assume the story was basically just how iran is stopping skynet with ballistic missiles
