An AWS data center is going to look like a bright shining beacon on the CARVER matrix.

What CARVER score would you give an AWS data center? I would probably put it around the 40 to 50s. Where would you put your own individual company by itself on the CARVER matrix as it relates to enemy forces? Pretty damn low.
Which is why your job as a responsible company you should have verified your offsite backups on 28th Feb.
Just like you would if wildfires started breaking new records in Oregon, if that's where your (for some reason sole) cloud region is.
It should already be set up, of course, but from a data point of view this is when you're thankful that at least this raised risk came with a heads up.
