  How much did Google spend to get that increase?

  Why do people choose the cloud with a history of randomly deleting billion-dollar accounts?

    UniSuper? (The claim felt so wild I wanted to check, and indeed, the private Google Cloud for the $125bn Australian pension fund was accidentally deleted by a provisioning misconfiguration. Any others?)

      IIRC, the files for Toy Story 2 were accidentally deleted during production, and the film was only saved because someone on maternity leave had a backup at home. Turns out you can fuck up self hosting too.

      Yes, Google randomly deleted UniSuper for basically the same reason they randomly ban individual customers: they don't care. Relying on them for anything is a huge mistake.
