Valid thing to raise in the campaign, but also... AWS is not Google. There will often be several attempts at communication before an account is disabled and I'm not even sure what protections need to be lifted for actually deleting an account.
Having worked with both clouds for several years, I'm intrigued by Google's services but struggle with trusting them enough to use for production.
It’s not only about AWS vs Google.
It’s about insider and external threats. Operator error. System design failures.
There’s a lot of ways to mess up your own account.
But doesn’t the problem only occur when these safeguards fail?
I mean - I get that you’re saying Google has fewer checks and balances than AWS, but at some point it must be possible for the customer contact process to go wrong.
It’s an extra slice of Swiss cheese, but it only makes it less likely, not impossible.
