Is the Internet Really Decentralized? | DA #69

Описание: The internet is “decentralized”… until one cloud provider has a bad day. This time on DevOps Accents, Leo, Pablo, and Kirill break down where decentralization actually exists, where we’ve centralized by convenience, and why outages feel inevitable in today’s cloud-driven world. In this episode:

What “decentralized internet” really means — protocols vs. reality
Why major outages (Cloudflare, AWS, DNS) expose hidden centralization
Single points of failure: clouds, CDNs, certificate authorities, and power grids
From infrastructure to geopolitics: how political borders affect the internet
Disaster recovery trade-offs: cost, downtime, and realistic expectations for teams
Practical advice: how much resilience is enough — and what not to blindly trust
