A factory not working because of a missile strike seems pretty classic actually.
replySure, but it's not a factory.
replyIt's a big building with a lot of capital assets inside that are the means of production for a business…
replyWhy not? It's a physical building with lots of equipment that produces products shipped to its customers.
replyIts products are sequences of electrons, instead of atoms. But so are power plants. And in the context of what happens when they're hit by missiles, a factory, data center, and power plant all behave the same.
When I first learned that there were AWS Middle East regions, my first thought was "wow they are more optimistic than I am
."
replyGoogle Cloud also has middle east locations. As does Azure, Oracle and Alibaba. Afaik, IBM Cloud does not. I think those five and AWS are the top 6 global public access clouds.
replyNo, they are more aware of the customer demand for compute in the region.
replyAnd demand for data sovereignty.
replyAbsolutely, especially in the KSA.
replyNot really. It's just been pretty damn quiet for years.
