A council member says "the cloud" has no physical footprint anywhere. Which correction is accurate for Azure?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
No physical footprint is a myth — Azure still lives in real datacenters you just do not tour every Monday. Consuming services over the internet does not make the buildings vanish. Cloud means someone else's facilities, not nobody's facilities.
