     @gabriel It depends, it's true that cloudflare and Amazon AWS server, for example, has too much market share of the whole Internet. If these services have a massive disaster happening to then, a lot of the net could be down... for days probably. Dude is right in that Amazon has multiple datacenter scattered around, and there's probably plans in case a major disaster happens, so stuff wouldn't be down for so long
     
     The other issue is the few major Internet routing backbones located at public places, I wonder what would happen if these goes down. Probably still would be just days of downtime at worst

     @gabriel couldn't be more wrong
     the current trend is aggressive centralization into just a few providers
     99% of organizations cybersecurity plans are bureaucratic box-checking capable of stopping nothing but a random kid across the street stealing wifi
     the hardware is all fundamentally the same and the software is the same shit replicated and repackaged countless times across countless final products. remember log4j being in literally everything?
     there are MILLIONS of midwits with MBAs who show up to work every day, on a mission to gut your so called resilient cold war infrastructure in the name of maximizing this quarter's profit. NOTHING matters more to every business on the planet than the number going up this quarter, next quarter, and the quarter after that.
     it didn't take total compromise of all systems to shut down that gasoline pipeline, just the billing system
