I imagine the concern becomes survivability. Israeli's really like their multiple levels of backups, and having a data copy out of the reach of enemy arms seems high priority.
Iran attacking US-East-1 would certainly be unusual.
- noir_lord 1y agoThey could likely work around that, multiple locations in-country and an off site encrypted backup out of country. More likely is it was "aid" from the US which usually comes with stipulations about what/where they can spend it - common with weapons/military kit, wouldn't be surprised if they did something similar with cloud services.
- vorpalhex 1y agoHundreds of missiles get colaunched making up multi-thousand missile waves. A 200 drone wave is "small". And any offsite that is "Israel's gov offsite" is an easy target even if in Cyprus or NYC. Comingling with a bunch of bulk commercial hosts is very safe from a threat modeling perspective (in this case).
