AWS flex used to be they did not tell you where the data centers are physically located, and availability zones are actually at least 50 to 100 miles apart, unlike Google and Azure where multi-AZ its just two firewalls in the same building... Good times. Now your cloud provider selection matrix looks like:

- Number of THAAD batteries within intercept range

- Active defense agreements with NATO member states

- Licensed Ukrainian anti-drone EW systems per facility

- Iron Dome coverage overlap percentage

AWS Shield is going to mean a Patriot battery included...We went from cloud is just someone else's computer to cloud is just someone else's military base...

Underground data centers are looking better by the day. Deep underground. I can see some uses for abandoned mines.

Orbital data centers looking like even worse of an idea. Mighty exposed up there.
