Like other words whose scope has expanded meaning (e.g., serverless, drone), airgap can simply mean segregated network and not just completely unplugged.

AWS uses it this way: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/publicsector/announcing-the-new...

1. Nothing about that post says it's just network layer segmentation. C2S is it's own region, with multiple AZs (data centers). Why would you believe those are collocated with commercial AWS and not, as they write, air-gapped.

2. Please don't contribute to giving marketing license to remove what little meaning words still have.

The wrong one I suspect. An Airgapped machine is a term reserved for a pc never connected to the internet, hence the gap. Usually for extreme security concerns like managing a paper crypto wallet or grid infrastructure.

Yeah, I should have just said standalone in this case.
