Microsoft Azure doesn't agree with this author. They have 3 Availability Zones in their Korea Central region.
It seems like there are a large number of commercial data centres in operation in South Korea, and not all in Seoul:

Kakao's incident was caused by a single building fire. It's quite a leap to suggest it is impossible to deliver a resilient service in a country the size of South Korea.
- TristanBall 4y agoYeah, it's all nonsense. Pretty much all of AWS Sydney data centers are within 100mi of each other,probably all Sydney data centers are, the entire city is in fact. Plenty of geographical, power and environmental diversity there tho. Given the latency differences there's a bunch of replication approaches that are practical at 5-50mi that just aren't at 1000 too
