A week of downtime and all the servers were recovered only because the customer had a proper disaster recovery protocol and held backups somewhere else, otherwise Google deleted the backups too

Google cloud ceo says “it won’t happen anymore”, it’s insane that there’s the possibility of “instant delete everything”

    While UniSuper normally has duplication in place in two geographies, to ensure that if one service goes down or is lost then it can be easily restored, because the fund’s cloud subscription was deleted, it caused the deletion across both geographies.

    TFW your BCDR gets disastered.

    Also “massive misconfiguration” is the “spontaneous disassembly” of cloud computing. i’m sure it’s mutiple systems are misconfigured causing chaos but it sounds hilarious.
