nah, i generally agree with you on single points of failure, i just don't agree that it would go on as long as 2 weeks. 24-48 hours i can believe, but at the absolute worst case I'd also expect anyone with minimal competence to have a plan to spin things up from the latest offsite backup somewhere else. (minimal competence is a big statement though). Even redundant setups can go down altogether from a fatfinger or automation gone wrong (see almost any outage from FAANG)

> stop a solar-storm

never heard of those taking out a data center, but i'm not highly educated on that one.

> A war on infrastructure

government datacenter will be first in line for fuel, generators, etc. A destroyed gov. datacenter would be the start of much more serious things to worry about.

> Just look at the Berlin outage where people had to go to hotpots

yeah, this one _is_ a little embarassing, but people who have to go to hotspots != datacenters

The original statement stands.
