      What's you point? That if you had run your own DC in that region (because that was your business requirement) then you'd have better missile defense than AWS?

      Or maybe AWS or DIY, you are always responsible for geographic diversity?

      Anyone losing data over this lost it because they'd literally told AWS to only store it in one place.

         You don't need better missile defense than AWS. You don't need missile defense at all because you won't be a target. 99.999999% of the land has no missile threat on it. You are actively increasing the threat to your business by running it on the same servers that military contractors run their software on.

            In a war where schools and bridges and aid convoys and bread lines are targeted, anyone should consider themselves a valid target.

            It's true that you are less likely to be a target than a state-sponsored tech megacorp's data centers, but the risk is still present.

               An American-run data center is much more likely to be targeted than some locally-owned and run company that isn't obviously connected to a foriegn power or the state that hosts it.
