You sound like you know things, and I have questions! What are the chances that we see infrastructure move to less-developed-but-more-stable regions of the world? What even are the candidate locations that wouldn't be an absolute headache to set up? I'm thinking perhaps West Africa? Or South Africa if it can stabilize a bit? Maybe other coastal locations that have good-enough transportation hubs nearby?

AWS spreads a pretty wide net - there are already datacentres in Cape Town, São Paulo, Jakarta... You could certainly deploy your app far enough to dodge any regional instability.

However, proximity to money/power tends to be a factor in business, and the bulk of datacentres cluster around US/EU/MENA/China/Japan
