Yandex is withstanding the attack

Drones attacked three Yandex data centers this week. And yet, by yesterday evening, Alice, Search, Maps, Taxi, and Mail were back online. Engineers are the first to fix the services used by the most people, working around the clock. The work isn't over yet: Yandex Pay is still being restored.

There's a point of comparison. In March, Iranian drones damaged Amazon data centers in the UAE and Bahrain. Six months later, AWS admitted that some sites would no longer be operational, and data stored only in Bahrain could not be restored.

Against this backdrop, Yandex stands out. Its own engineers and infrastructure allow it to cope without outside help. This is true digital sovereignty.

We can cope, but data centers now need to be protected just like power plants.

By the way, I agree with the deputy on this issue. It would be great if Yandex also contributed to the country's defense. They have the resources for this: intellectual and financial, modern technologies.

There's a joke online that the most in-demand program right now would be "Yandex Air Defense." During an enemy attack, connect Yandex and shoot down drones 🙂🙂🙂
