None of the big cloud providers have unrecoverably lost hosted data yet, despite sorting vast volumes, so this doesn't seem BS to me.
AWS lost data in Australia a few years ago due to a power outage I believe.

I am not sure if a single S3 outage pushed any big names into their own "datacenter". S3 has still the world record of reliability that you cannot challenge with your inhouse solutions. You can prove it otherwise. I would love to hear a solution that has the same durability, avabiality and scalability as S3. For the downvoters, please just link here the proof if you disagree. Here are the S3 numbers: https://aws.amaz…

It's not so much AWS vs. in-house. But AWS (or GCP/DO/etc.) vs. multi/hybrid solutions. The latter of which would presumably have lower downtime.
Why would you think that self-managed has lower downtime than AWS using multiple datacenters/regions?

11 9s isn't uncommon. AWS S3 does 11 9s (upto 16 9s with cross region replication?) for data durability, too. AFAIK, AWS published papers about their use of formal methods to ascertain bugs from other parts of the system didn't creep in to affect durability/availability guarantees: https://blog.acolyer.org/2014/11/24/use-of-formal-methods-at... This is a pretty neat and concise read on ObjectStorage in-use at BigTech…
You have to be kidding me. 14 9's is already microseconds a year. Surely below anybody's error bar for whether a service is down or not. 16 9's and aws should easily last as long as the great pyramids without a second worth of outage. What a joke

We don’t usually discuss the frequency of unplanned failovers, but I will tell you that we do a planned failover at least every two weeks. The team also uses traffic shaping to perform whole system load tests with production traffic, which happens quarterly.
Do you do any chaos testing? Seems like it would slot right in, there.

They WILL absolutely block and suspend all accounts indefinitely. They have terminated accounts for credit card failing transactions. I really wanted to try out their new autoML but I was paranoid of entering my credit card and getting banned from Google
oh man....so ALL of my gmail gets banned? this is FUCKED. its aking to holding my youtube and google play accounts hostage.
That way Google won't ban your main account for non-payment.
It's the only way, especially considering Google cloud has no functionality to cap spending.

> Any cloud provider offering those terms would go out of business VERY quickly Minimum spends and a 50,000% markup based on adding that term to your contract.
I think you're proving the parent comment's point. The number of businesses willing to pay a 500x markup is exceedingly small (potentially less than 1), and at that point the cost is high enough where it's probably cheaper to just build the redundancy yourself using multiple cloud providers (and, to emphasize, that option tends to be horribly expensive).

What I've realized from this: Google doesn't have an official status page for GCP. There are a few unofficial ones, but nothing official that I could find.
