It could be accurate. Let’s say, for whatever reason, it is.

Ok.

Then it wasn’t a workable design.

The idea of “backup sites” has existed forever. The fact you use the word “cloud” to describe your personal collection of servers doesn’t suddenly mean you don’t need backups in a separate physical site.

If the government mandates its use, it should have a hot site at a minimum. Even without that a physical backup in a separate physical location in case of fire/attack/tsunami/large band of hungry squirrels is a total must-have.

However it was decided that not having that was OK, that decision was negligence.
