The world has seen what Israel does when they’re attacked. They don’t get to set moral frameworks anymore.
Who in your opinion sets the moral framework for defending oneself against an enemy which has sworn genocide and proven capable of destroying entire peaceful villages along their borders?

What do you mean 'finally' - surely 'redundancy' or 'natural disaster' is reason enough.
To a lot of managers/startup execs this is something like "we won't ever need this". And I'd agree to some extent for not so important/rebuildable services. Depends on what you need. In startups, you don't have infinite time you can spend on stuff. But this makes a good case: if a geographical region only has one AWS region, don't keep data or run services that can't be easily rebuild somewhere else. In europe you ca…
1. Just having a copy in two places doesn’t mean the copies are both good or that you can get DR online in any reasonable amount of time.
2. You quickly figure out all the things you thought “weren’t important” that prevent you from actually doing a successful DR test.
They amount of things that “cloud first” people just assume naturally takes care of itself because it’s in the cloud always amuses me.
I've been working on that for a client since yesterday (as a fractional CTO). Pretty hectic, basically nothing really works and we don't know yet if all data is lost or if anything is recoverable or when AWS UAE will become functional again so we can recover that region. Finally, I have a very good argument for multi-region deployments ;)) that's my go to website atm: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status
So AWS's availability zone architecture hasn't helped in this case?

There’s a reason literally every enterprise of any size in the early 00s not only had a DR site, but a DR plan they would test multiple times per year. 1.

You should have that for your main data, yes. I insist on that as well. Making backups, cold storage, and getting them back online. Yearly is not enough. My point was that not everything needs a backup or a DR. Spend your time wisely, we're talking startups, not enterprise. Can't talk more specifics obviously

The IDF did not starve civilians - that lie has already been disproven. I know that you'd love to repeat it until history records it, but by no objective measure was there famine nor starvation in Gaza. Other than the starvation of Hamas' hostages. The images of "starving children" were images of children with other medical conditions. The UN reports used a metric that considered starvation at HALF the threshold used…
… but they did bomb apartment buildings in Tehran. I saw that with my own eyes. Stick to the challenge: what won't you accept? Nothing?

Instead of claiming "whatever bullshit you come up with" at me, go search for Qatari influence in English too. I prefer Qatari sources in Arabic because then one cannot claim a biased source, but for those who can not read Arabic there is ample English language discussion. Here's just the first two Google results, enjoy, there's quite a few more from both sides of the US political divide if you would like to start ni…

I accept the bombing of buildings which house those who have declared "Death to America, Death to Israel", and then have proceeded to bomb apartment buildings in Beit Shemesh.

They have been chanting "down with America" - that does not mean "murder every single person in America with their missiles (which can't reach America)" "Death to" is a mistranslation of "marg bar", a phrase that is also applied to traffic, and inflation. Do the Iranians want to kill all traffic and all... inflation? We no longer believe your lies.

So I do appreciate you educating me on the literal meaning of the Persian phrase, yet I dispute your interpretation that they state no intention of murdering us. Quite the opposite, the more I research it the more Hebrew banners in Tehran I see and I can conclude not only are they capable of murdering myself and my children, they have intent as well.
