    This is the flipside of data residency requirements that countries are now starting to require. If the EU wants to keep data in the EU, then great, but when the war comes and energy and infrastructure are hit, people would have wished for backups in North America, Asia, and the middle east.

      If you can not restore data from EU based Amazon Datacenters because it’s destroyed … you will definitely have better things to do like packing your go bag or buying the last groceries for a while.

        Ah yeah, the EU, a historically stable area.

          Border between France and Germany is a particularly well know peaceful area, especially Alsace-Lorraine.

            Clearly the best place to put all your factories!
