What if somebody deletes the file? What if it got corrupted for a problem in one of your processes? What if your API key falls in the wrong hands?
- nemothekid 1y agoYes - backups also protect against someone doing a `rm -rf /*` by accident. However, I don't think I've created an S3 bucket without versioning enabled for years. If someone deletes the file, or the file gets corrupted - I just restore a pervious version. I don't want to suggest that people should place all their eggs in one basket - it's obviously irresponsible. However, S3 (and versioning) has been the "final storage" for years now. I can only imagine a catastrophic situation like an entire s3 region blowing up. And I'm sure a disgruntled employee could do a lot of damage as well.
