      Can you post the specs on your missile defense system for your home lab?

      How are you dealing with the rise of low-cast swarm attacks from drones?

      Is it land-based, sea-based or space-based and at what point of the trajectory do you target and do you use jamming?

        Eh I get your point but would point out that distribution does mitigate the risk here, having all your data in DC's that can be seen from space also isn't a panacea when your next door neighbour targets them in retaliation for what your ally did.

        I would but then I'd have to kill you.

        If you have servers on multiple continents that's enough to become immune to attacks like this. You don't need missile defense.
