Drone strikes on data centers: Ars live on cloud resilience risks
Ars Technica AI · rss · 2026-11-13
Ars Technica is hosting a live conversation on Nov 17, 1pm ET titled "Drone attacks and data centers: New Risks for Big Tech" with Joseph Jarnecki, senior research fellow at UK defense think tank RUSI, who studies cloud services in national security and tech sovereignty.
Context: drone and missile strikes in Eastern Europe and the Middle East inflicted unprecedented damage on data centers this year, disrupting cloud services for millions and permanently deleting some AWS customer data. Cloud resilience is now a major concern for Big Tech, governments, and society at large.
Jarnecki has researched how Ukraine hardened its cloud resilience with Western partners despite cyber and kinetic attacks early in the full-scale invasion, and what that means for NATO and European cloud adoption plans.
