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”
Remember people: The cloud is just someone else’s computer.
thats why i am trying to explain to my family since forever. their answer always amounts to something like “it would be illegal for them to look at my data!” like those companies would care. .
in many cases “looking at my data!” is in their TOS
Unless its a self-hosted cloud. Then its your own computers
