Yeah, but proper failover and recovery requires additional infrastructure, and that costs money.
Hopefully a bunch of risk management people are writing I-told-you-so emails to C-suites right now.
Yeah but not to worry, C-suites have pretty good filtering rules in place to never read them. Saves time, really.
And plausible deniability.
Yup, and some things which can be moved cannot be done automatically, quickly or easily....even if you are prepared. AWS is a huge suite of products and services, and there's a lot of old legacy shit running on it. I wouldn't punch down on the ops for this one. Cybersecurity and disaster recovery are not directly profitable, so they are almost always neglected in your average shop.
Yup, AWS is legacy cloud. It was only recently that they set encryption by default on S3 buckets, before that they were just in the clear by default.
It's never important until suddenly it's the most important thing in the world.
