The more interesting question, is how many datacenters are just plonked next to a high-value military target?

For infrastructure reasons, we plonk datacenters down next to airports big enough to fly major hardware into, and near where the big oceanic cables come ashore… and for strategic reasons those are also the perfect places to place military bases

Is there acrually some meaningful physical separation between military and civilian server deployments?

We seem to be really bad at separating those two. For example Starlink is basically military infrastructure now, used to guide bombs.
