After 10 years as an AWS customer and open-source contributor, they deleted my account and all data with zero warning. Here's how AWS's 'verification' process became a digital execution, and why you should never trust cloud providers with your only copy of anything.
More reason that other countries developing smaller, regional cloud providers is a good thing. Part of the reason AWS thinks they can get away with this is that there are 2-3 other providers they compete with, and moving is onerous. If there were 200+ cloud providers, there would almost certainly be a standard set of tools and much better customer service.
Well, at least for the OP, they made his moving really easy
A fair point. Kind of like an arsonist could make my next move really easy.
There are 200+ cloud providers. You’re just too lazy to find anything other than public SaaS cloud.
