    What a nightmare scenario to tabletop. How do you even begin to recover from something like this?

      Backups in a different region?

        Works unless local laws specifically block you doing that which they do for some classes of data in some countries.

        Multi-cloud in the same country (if that exists in the country and is far enough apart) maybe.

          Do cloud providers even share data center locations so you can assess the "far enough" bit yourself?
