Google Cloud accidentally deleted UniSuper's account and backups, causing a major data loss and downtime for the company.
UniSuper was able to recover data from backups with a different provider after the incident.
The incident highlighted the importance of having safeguards in place for cloud service providers to prevent such catastrophic events from occurring.

Very stupid.

AWS has a holding period after account deletion where nothing is actually deleted, just inaccessible and access can be regained without data loss.

Since first hearing about this I’m wondering how TF Google Cloud doesn’t have a similar SOP.
