Should likely share https://status.yandex.cloud/en/timeline as well, though it only shows two of them being hit, not three.

3rd cloud data center so far.

Great! More news like this Maybe this would remind ordinary russians that killing innocent civilians every day in Kyiv is not good

Yandex is the best search engine for stuff banned by the "rotten wect" btw. F Google

From a purely engineering perspective, this and the destroyed AWS datacenters in the Middle East show an interesting trend. How will it affect the way future datacenters and services hosted in them are built? Will we see a rise in decentralized systems and much larger networks of smaller DCs?

Data centers are becoming higher priority targets in wars recently, and with humans delegating more to AI, I suspect their priority will increase even further. Makes me wonder how much compute is already being built in bunkers under mountains.

data centers are civilian targets and globally very poorly defended. if this starts to escalate.. you think ram is expensive now..

Everything is fair in love and war. Unless the war stops, they can completely destroy each other. The general decency of condemning any/all types destruction won't apply here.

The communication from Yandex regarding these incidents seems very refreshing compared to what we usually see from big tech. They seem very realistic about what customers should expect and what measures they should take. I wish this were more common these days.

Russia used to be quite advanced in information technology. At one point they prided themselves on being one of only four nations with Internet-scale search engines IIRC. Their little military operation already cost them lots of talent. And now they are actively losing infra too. Nice.

What's an alternative way to find torrents if Yandex goes down?

Looks like Yandex is going to be taken over by the state for not investing in air defences. (There is a new law in russia that specifically allows confiscation of businesses that do not invest in air defenses.)

How many major DCs are there in Russia?

But how on earth are they able to penetrate through all their defensives

They should start putting data centers underground like deep under central park

Is https://habr.com normally down?

Massive data/compute centers should be replace to lot of mini data/compute centers in our homes.
