> What these places are facing is a SHIPPING shortage. > Not a lack of enough wheat in the world. That doesn't make it any better, most of the famines that took place before the industrial revolution happened because of transport shortages, sometimes a certain part of a kingdom would experience famine while another one, located at the opposite geographical end, would have been just fine. Now, it depends how fast and if those transport/supply issues can be solved in a reasonable amount of time, I would imagine this is not as simple as firing up a new instance on AWS (let's say) if the instance you had on Azure had died out.
