🌧When the Cloud Delete Your Stuff

A person had a 10-year AWS account with important data. AWS sent a verification request and the account was deleted without a proper warning. Later the account was partially restored after people pushed the story to Reddit TOP.
Takeaways:
1. Don’t trust a single provider with the only copy. Two copies in two different places is the baseline.
2. Own your backups off the provider when possible. Snapshots inside the same account are not true redundancy.
3. Automate recovery drills. Backups are useless unless you regularly test restoration.
4. Keep billing and contact info tidy.
6. Human action still matters. Tech fails; people can sometimes save you.
