The cloud promised resilience, zones upon zones of abstraction. When it fell, it fell everywhere at once, an outage wide as belief. Backups slept beside production, replicated faithfully into ruin.

And in the ruins, auditors will ask: Was this risk accepted? We will nod, scroll, and open a new ticket.
