Implement Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Solutions

Abstract

August 10, 2020. That date may not be very important to you, but for anyone that lived in Nebraska, Illinois, or Iowa, it was a day they'll never forget. It was especially difficult on farmers. On that day, out of pretty much nowhere, a land hurricane (known as a derecho—day-ray-cho) wreaked havoc for about 700 miles in a swath of 40 or more miles from top to bottom. An estimated 11 billion dollars in crops and other assets were lost. Something else was lost—power and Internet. In a matter of 20 minutes, it was like going back to the dark ages, as all pipelines in and out were completely lost, and Internet was just gone. Do you know what still worked? All of Azure on the East and West regions of the United States, as well as the rest of their global regions.
