Motivations aside, I’m pretty sure an AWS data center is too big to take out with a car bomb or even a large truck bomb. If it’s like any other major commercial data enter I’ve been to, there are redundant, multi-tier systems for network, power and HVAC along with multiple path entry of electrical and network connections. There are also likely multiple zones (physically firewalled from each other) for fire suppression, so even if he triggered the sprinklers (or halon) it would likely only take 1/10 or so of their capacity offline (and not even that if it’s halon). An attack like this is absolutely within their threat model too. Because it has been for pretty much every datacenter I’ve toured.
