A week of downtime and all the servers were recovered only because the customer had a proper disaster recovery protocol and held backups somewhere else, otherwise Google deleted the backups too

Google cloud ceo says “it won’t happen anymore”, it’s insane that there’s the possibility of “instant delete everything”

    But there are many ways such as access logs, server monitoring etc

    Which are all in the control of the company running the servers. If we trust the company, we can trust them giving honest information on these, but if we don’t trust the company… they could just redact logs or even straight out fake them

      I think you live in a fantasy world fella. Also server monitoring isn’t done by Google, it’s don’t by another 3rd party company.
