    This interview with an AWS leader isn’t aging well, from CBS Sunday morning:

    Pogue asked, "I don't mean to give anyone ideas, but let's say I figured out that one of these unmarked buildings was an AWS data center, and I blew it up. Are you saying that it's so backed up and redundant that you probably wouldn't notice?" Wood replied, "Yeah, you wouldn't notice. I mean, we might be a bit upset, but you wouldn't notice!"

      Isn’t the problem that multiple datacenters in one zone were blown up?

        They had nine years and more money than god to build redundancy in an unstable region.

          They did build redundancy but most of it was bombed.

                Evidence so far suggests yes, actually.
