    This is what insurance is for. He wont pay a dime over the deductible.

      Pretty much every single insurance policy has a terrorism or war exception.

      There are policies for both of those, but they tend to be much more expensive.

      Some companies self insure.

      The premiums just went way up though, and at some point insurers will just refuse.

      He is not profiting or expanding. You can’t just spawn infinite data centers

  The stupidity of waging war in an interconnected world for no reason is getting clearer by the day.

    The reason is actually “to bring the armageddon.” US government has been doing religious extremism for a while now and they fucking love projecting.

  “Data centre unavailable for the foreseeable future. Ticket closed.”

    Back in the early 2000’s I worked at Akamai, and as part of my training I spent time in their Network Operations Center. They have equipment in literally thousands of data centers around the world, and rely on the datacenter staff for any physical work.

    One day I was looking at old tickets in the NOC and found one that had been open for a few years and apparently abandoned. It was about an entire rack of gear at a small Midwest ISP that had stopped responding. The NOC staff had tried all their typical remote troubleshooting then reached out to the ISP for physical troubleshooting.

    The last comment in the ticket stated that the datacenter had been destroyed by a tornado.

      Why would you not close the ticket as “WONTFIX” or something in that situation?

  Damn. Shouldn’t have donated to short term gains: the party. Get fucked

    “What do you mean the ‘short term gains’ were three quarters ago. ‘Short term’ is supposed to mean the next couple quarters, always.”

  Just FYI this isn’t new, happened a month ago if I’m not mistaken

    That was Dubai, no?

      Both Dubai and Bahrain, which are still lit up on the AWS health dashboard

  This is so low on the list of things to care about in the current situation it’s ridiculous.

  Unless it’s the only datacentre hosting critical infrastructure, then you can care, but not on a weekend.

    Hey I care about this. Hearing that Amazon data centers are literally being bombed is like a little spot of joy in all of this.
