- Red_Leaves_Flyy 5y agoWhy raid when they can just ssh in?
- Y_Y 5y agoIt's cheaper.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoIt's always possible, but the collateral damage might be pretty bad...
- dylan604 5y agoWouldn't the system see a raid's confiscation of a server as just a down machine and do the normal thing to bring up a new server to handle the load correctly? "Okay boys, now go get that server. Wait, now that one, now that one"
- heavyset_go 5y agoYes, they're just one court order or subpoena away. With a gag order, you'll never even know it happened.
- PeterisP 5y agoOf course, Amazon is a US company, so with the proper subpoena from a US court AWS technicians will [have to] deliver images of the virtual servers and/or remove them and/or modify them or whatever else is requested, without the right to inform the customer if the subpoena says so.
