Why blow up anything or damage any cables? Hack the computer of an Amazon employee and do your damage there. The last S4 outage was because of someone fat fingering a script, imagine what someone could do that really wanted to mess stuff up.

This. Could've saved myself a comment elsewhere on this thread.

But, yeah, I'm kinda' surprised that this HN crowd in particular is so focused on hardware vectors.

And ultimately it leads you back to targeting the IT operations centre for the business where they provision equally to say both AWS and Azure for redundancy. At that point you can knock all of the biz cloud capacity off.
