Why are you running a business without any Business Continuity or Disaster Recovery? In this case, Google might have screwed up but what about if the account had been hacked, or Google had some big technical problem that killed off the production system for another reason?
We all know it is infuriating and frustrating but that is why you need BC/DR in the first-place.
- piva00 4y agoThat's great advice that doesn't really cover the core issue here: GCP with a business contract is trusted to not do this, yet they did it. Yes, you can prepare disaster recovery and business continuity procedures, they have a cost and it's not trivial. If you postpone this cost as a technical debt due to an assumption that Google should be trusted to have a business contract with and got burned by Google I do believe it's not the victim's fault. Your comment sounds a lot more like victim blaming than just a sensible procedure to have in place as much as I agree with the need for BC/DR. BC/DR are not free, paying Google (as they've done) should've been enough for this case.
