- XorNot 1mo agoIn a Gulf State 300 miles is still within ballistic missile range and any belligerent is going to target both places if at all. Strictly speaking from a missile defense perspective there's an argument 2 sites are a waste of valuable interceptors.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 1mo agoThey're likely going to target two datacenters, not the datacenters + your medium sized company's office NAS and the safe in the office manager's home. (Encryption handles confidentiality concerns.)
- niij 1mo ago> (Encryption handles confidentiality concerns.) Which is why data residency is such a stupid concept.
- firesteelrain 1mo agoYes and no. For example if you are doing Azure, technically Azure can see tenant traffic I believe and you need to use both a Platform Key and CMK for data rest. VMs need encryption at host turned on too. There is nothing to say that a determined adversary may still get at your data so it needs to stay in country.
- jamesfinlayson 1mo agoYeah same with AWS - they say they can't see my custom KMS key but... this stuff all lives on their servers, not on my servers. AWS definitely have the ability to see my KMS keys and decrypt my data but I assume that they won't unless a judge tells them to.
