By whom? Even the largest botnet in existence wouldn’t be a blip on their radar. I used to work as an SRE at Facebook. The egress graph didn’t even show ddos attacks. That’s how insignificant they are at that scale of infrastructure. There were things that affected the egress graph, like the superbowl.
There are only five countries that have enough nukes to take out all YouTube data centers at once: USA, Russia, UK, France and China.
Ok, fair enough. I don’t know exactly what effect nuclear weapons would have on the egress graph, but I’d imagine it wouldn’t be good.
