Size doesn't matter - security priorities do

Enjoyed our discussion on the topic, Danny. Quick clarifier – The size of the cloud provider doesn't really matter as long as they are focused on the security of their services. With recent DDoS attacks peaking well over 500Gb/sec, you need to make sure your provider has the means to prevent such an attack. Do your homework and verify they have the proper mitigation infrastructure in place - it's an art that combines bandwidth and security services like Cloudflare and others you mention. That's iland's approach.
