Well, it's a technical post-portem, not a love letter. I'm not affiliated to Gandi in any way, but I find the finger-pointing a bit too pedantic.

The take-away is not this one. Its: backup anything you care about.
- bradly 7y agoThey called snapshots backups in their web interface when viewing snapshots. From their docs: > "Snapshots allow you to create a backup copy of a volume" https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EN2UZ6TX4AAMe-H?format=png&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EN2UZ6TX4AAMe-H?format=png&name=... They are doing a lot of preaching about backups when failing to do internal backups (not customer facing backups) of their own products.
- bpizzi 7y agoAs it's said in the postmortem, they are agreeing that they should have stated in a more obvious way that the backups availability was not contractually assured.
- bradly 7y agoThe postmortem says "we don’t provide a backup product for customers" while the docs describe the snapshots as a backup (see screenshot from my higher level comment). This is the disconnect for me that I'm sure is causing a lot of the frustration they are hearing from customers. They are not accepting that they sold the snapshots as a backup and this is disappointing in a postmortem where users are looking for empathy, acknowledgement, and a path forward.
