I've been a web developer for over 5 years and never once worked somewhere where I'd have any imaginable way of physically accessing the disk of a server. Everything's been cloud-based. I don't know the exact ratios, but I'd expect my experience not to be unusual.
- detaro 8y agoYou can't physically access the disk, but you often can download a snapshot or disk image, which is created at the hypervisor level.
- organsnyder 8y agoYou should still access that data in an offline manner, though—ideally: 1. Shut down the instance 2. Connect the storage as secondary storage on another (disconnected from the network) instance 3. Do forensics using your cloud provider's out-of-band management interface 4. Throw away that instance as soon as you're done
