This piece argues that cloud resilience has to start treating legal and geopolitical boundaries like real failure domains, not just AZs.

“Bookmarked” is such a mood, but I hope folks don’t treat multi-region as a magic talisman — if your identity plane, DNS, or CI/CD lives in the same jurisdiction you’re “failing over” from, you can still be dead in the water. Resilience is boring dependency inventory work, not just spinning up a second region.
