I am sorry they had this problem. Stories like this about edge cases with cloud deployments make my conviction stronger to always: 1) have a data backup plan that uses a different cloud provider unless you have so much data that you can’t afford the extra bandwidth and storage costs. 2) if possible don’t rely on unique cloud platform services and be ready to bring a system up quickly on another service provider.
