The initial statement on this incident was pretty misleading, it sounded like Google just accidentally deleted an entire GCP account. Reading this writeup I'm reassured, it sounds like they only lost a region's worth of virtual machines, which is absolutely something that happens (and that I think my systems can handle without too much trouble.) The original writeup made it sound like all of their GCS buckets, SQL databases, etc. in all regions were just gone which is a different thing and something I hope Google can be trusted not to do.
It was a red flag when UniSuper said their subscription was deleted, not their account. Many people jumped to conclusions about that.
