    Well guess it depends which companies we are talking about, and which if any have multi cloud redundancy… and if they are configured correctly. Obviously if someone has a multi cloud environment, configured perfectly to be unaffected, we just wouldn’t know what they have in the cloud, because the lack of outage wouldn’t generate any news.
