Next time somebody asks you why you take 2 weeks to design a solution, show them this news article. Again, this does not imply that the UniSuper team did not design correctly - there is a limit to contingency planning also. But, the message I want to get through ( in the words of the legendary Werner Vogels ) : "Everything fails, all the time" All we can do is architect redundancies to the extent that makes sense from a business perspective. Interesting piece of news to ponder on! #wellarchitected #resilience #redundancy #cloudprovider #gcp

This is such an important lesson for all those who believe that native backups are enough on the cloud. Yes, they serve a purpose and do the job… but organisations need to consider engaging with Backup vendors to take that data offsite just in case the worst case scenario occurs. https://t.co/v5WFxqUtaB Veeam Software

“Unprecedented” Google Cloud event wipes out customer account and its backups UniSuper, a $135 billion pension account, details its cloud compute nightmare. "A joint statement from UniSuper CEO Peter Chun, and Google Cloud CEO, Thomas Kurian." This statement reads, "Google Cloud CEO, Thomas Kurian has confirmed that the disruption arose from an unprecedented sequence of events whereby an inadvertent misconfiguration during provisioning of UniSuper’s Private Cloud services ultimately resulted in the deletion of UniSuper’s Private Cloud subscription. This is an isolated, ‘one-of-a-kind occurrence’ that has never before occurred with any of Google Cloud’s clients globally. This should not have happened. Google Cloud has identified the events that led to this disruption and taken measures to ensure this does not happen again."
