Based on Bahrain’s AWS region I would expect the first decapitation strike on a country, after defensive systems, would be cloud data centres. Everything we have from hospitals to logistics to power to SCADA to retail seems to be heavily centralised.

We need more distribution for the sake of redundancy. Less large data centres and hyper scalers, more servers in a back office somewhere.

The internet itself is less of a problem. It’s where most of the traffic goes that is the problem.

Data centers are a somewhat difficult target. Not alot of explosive content, highly redundant operations, low staff count to impact operations.

It's much easier to destroy the power generation for those data centers than the center itself, and power generation is much less redundant and more easily impacted. It can be highly visible if you are only hitting a few targets, but the actual impact ends up being pretty low.

I'm guessing countries are now starting to realize this. I bet new datacenters will start being built underground or reinforced concrete bunkers

There are 12,000+ data centers around the globe including ~1300 "hyper scale" DCs. It seems like at a glance that we are actually fairly distributed physically. Not to say that DCs wouldn't be valuable military targets but I would not call it centralized.
