It can certainly fit into a particular cloud platform’s offerings. But it’s by no means exclusive to the cloud.
My entire stack can be picked up and redeployed anywhere where I can run Ubuntu or Debian. My “most external” dependencies are domain name registries and an S3-API compatible object store, and even that one is technically optional, if given a few days of lead time.
This sort of makes sense if our governments are, on the whole, 'better' than Andrew Tate, for some definition of 'better'. But as the slide goes on there will be a tipping point where our governments are worse, meaning them surveilling me becomes problematic. Best shout about it now than then.
