The amount of people shilling for a multi billion dollar corporation is baffling.
- whstl 1y agoYou know the quote: It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it. A lot of people in this industry have near-zero operations knowledge that doesn't involve AWS, and it's frightening.
- jasonvorhe 1y agoTrue. I get that you can blame someone for having no backups and yoloing their thing. But OP did so much right if the threat model doesn't involve "corporate behemoth anti-user automation nukes everything including backups". Everyone saying "you should've had offsite backups" certainly has a point but 99% of the blame lies with AWS here. This entire process must've crossed so many highly paid "experts" and no one considered freezing an account before nuking it for some compliance thing. It's just baffling. Hope these cases will lead to more people leaving the clouds and going back to on-prem stuff.

- whstl 1y agoIt is worth saying that AWS educates people to behave like this. In the last "mandatory education program" I participated, the AWS instructor laughed at the possibility of data loss.
