You helped make it happen, Bezos. Now eat your shit sandwich.
This is what insurance is for. He wont pay a dime over the deductible.
Pretty much every single insurance policy has a terrorism or war exception.
There are policies for both of those, but they tend to be much more expensive.
Some companies self insure.
I would especially expect that of a company like Amazon that's bigger than the insurers (and re-insurers) themselves.
The US government will just have tax payers give a bailout.
The premiums just went way up though, and at some point insurers will just refuse.
He'll demand Tax money bailout
He is not profiting or expanding. You can't just spawn infinite data centers
The stupidity of waging war in an interconnected world for no reason is getting clearer by the day.
We found out recently it was "to bring the biblical end times."
Turns out the only thing US government loves more than religious extremism was projecting it to minorities.
WW3 is between evangelical christians and everyone else who just want to survive.
I know of a hack the evangelicals can use to get to the Kingdom of Heaven much faster and save us the trouble
"Data centre unavailable for the foreseeable future. Ticket closed."
Back in the early 2000’s I worked at Akamai, and as part of my training I spent time in their Network Operations Center. They have equipment in literally thousands of data centers around the world, and rely on the datacenter staff for any physical work.
One day I was looking at old tickets in the NOC and found one that had been open for a few years and apparently abandoned. It was about an entire rack of gear at a small Midwest ISP that had stopped responding. The NOC staff had tried all their typical remote troubleshooting then reached out to the ISP for physical troubleshooting.
The last comment in the ticket stated that the datacenter had been destroyed by a tornado.
Why would they not close the ticket as "WONTFIX" or something in that situation?
My guess is that they hoped to eventually replace the equipment if/when the datacenter was rebuilt.
Damn. Shouldn’t have donated to short term gains: the party. Get fucked
"What do you mean the 'short term gains' were three quarters ago. 'Short term' is supposed to mean the next couple quarters, always."
Oh no! Anyway...
That's a casualty of war I'm more than willing to accept.
And nothing of value was lost
Didn't expect the datacenter wars to start so soon.
Who's smirking now, Amazon?
Neat!
Just FYI this isn’t new, happened a month ago if I’m not mistaken
That was Dubai, no?
Both Dubai and Bahrain, which are still lit up on the AWS health dashboard
God's work.
Inshallah 🙌
Oh shiit ... Anyway
Fuck do I need to start making multi region backups now
haha, good
This is so low on the list of things to care about in the current situation it’s ridiculous.
Unless it’s the only datacentre hosting critical infrastructure, then you can care, but not on a weekend.
Hey I care about this. Hearing that Amazon data centers are literally being bombed is like a little spot of joy in all of this.
Hey, that’s true!
I'm just thinking...how do I sign up for this?
🎉
get ready for your taxes to pay a few more billion to Bezos.
What's the support ticket code for Shahed hit?
