You could just throw an error, freeze services and do whatever "let someone handle this on a case by case basis". It's absurd to suggest that the customer doesn't want to have the option to prevent their spend from growing by multiple orders of magnitude without a human in the loop. Sure maybe deletes are a billable action (also absurd and fake), but having the options to say "hey I can't spend more than X, cut my service if my spend + cleanup would cost more than X" is absolutely doable and something many people would want.
- danpalmer 2y agoIf you think that deleting all data (blob storage, block storage, VM states, caches, etc) is preferable to a surprise bill, then I don't think there's anything we can debate here.
- thot_experiment 2y agoI agree that there isn't anything we can debate here, but it's because you're making straw men. There's a middle ground here between getting charged 4 orders of magnitude more than you expected and having all of your data deleted that you're obtusely refusing to consider.
