Funny how that seems to often be the case. They need to see the consequences, not just be warned. An 'I told you so' moment...

Agreed.
Dont we all use centralized management because there is cost and risk involved when we don't.
More management complexity, missed systems, etc.
So we're balancing risk vs operational costs.
Makes sense to swap out virtual for container solutions or automation solutions for discussion.
Yeah, that's pretty risky for this point in time.
I guess the MBA people look at total cost of revenue/reputation loss for things like ransomware recovery, restoration of backups vs the cost of making their IT systems resilient?
Personally, I don't think so (in many cases) or they'd spend more money on planning/resilience.
Seems like your org has taken resilience and response planning seriously. I like it.
contract "options" are indeed normal. You could also lump in government contracts into the category your thinking about. I've never heard of a scenario where the vendor broke contract by not honoring the options. I also have never dealt with a vendor getting bought out and then not honoring existing contracts. Super fun to watch the corporate drama. I personally don't care for the private equity style business that seems to be an even bigger problem than the investor first/profit centric model that I thought was the worst thing.
I don't mean to downplay the environment, but I think we'll have a long list of worries... 🫨
Well, there was a huge push after the cold war for globalization. It was supposed to be the next peace plan and war deterrent. It was for a while.
I would have disagreed with you, but after Russia started acquireing land in 2014?, I would have been concerned. Then they kept up their moves towards where we are today.
Now, I think everyone is a little late and reactionary.
Well, it was done by someone who doesn't live there.
Plus it was a former military member, as such, tend to be more supportive of military spending.
I hopefully didn't suggest that the video is perfect.
It was more than I had seen regarding western EU nations and their complimentary efforts/spending.
There will likely never be consensus on a nation's spending. Best we can hope for is not too ridiculous...😀
Agreed. I don't blame those countries for not spending tons of money on a military they didn't think they needed.
Now, I'm looking at France cutting it's social programs to cover increases in military spending. Agree or disagree with the spending or their PM's choices, I hugely respect the idea that they keep a budget or try. The US hasn't done that for...25 years?
I saw a good video analysis about France spending lately. I'm going to edit that in.

It's just another opinion, but I learned a lot.
Do you live in Europe?
I don't, but I get the impression that most European citizens don't have much interest in escalation.
Turkey was mentioned. I'm my mind, they aren't really cut from the same cloth of much of Europe. They seem to be an outlier.
EU/NATO countries are pretty cautious.
There's some really good geopolitics related content from real life lore and task and purpose (just content people, not experts, might still learn something).
Military stuff:
I would not have thought of this perspective if you hadn't mentioned it. Thx.
Lol, even in 2024 with free VPN/overlay solutions...they just won't stop public Internet exposure of control plane things...
