Can you post the specs on your missile defense system for your home lab?

How are you dealing with the rise of low-cast swarm attacks from drones?

Is it land-based, sea-based or space-based and at what point of the trajectory do you target and do you use jamming?

this is reductionist to the point of absurdism.

It can be true that using cloud storage, using managed services, and paying a premium is still worth it for a lot of people and organizations, and while not perfect, still a hell of a lot better compared to the fully in your control tape backups that you distribute to different physical locations every week.

I'm not a particular fan of relying on one provider or vendor lock in, but to pretend they don't provide a service with failure rates that are low enough to be very useful is a very short-sighted take.

What's you point? That if you had run your own DC in that region (because that was your business requirement) then you'd have better missile defense than AWS?

Or maybe AWS or DIY, you are always responsible for geographic diversity?

Anyone losing data over this lost it because they'd literally told AWS to only store it in one place.
