So you restored from your off cloud backup, right?

Tell me you have off cloud backups? If not, then I know its brutal, but AWS is responsible for their part in the disaster, and you are responsible for yours - which is not being able to recover at all.

Does... Does the writer of this piece think the phrase only applies to literal baskets?

Wild that people don't realize that these "separate" systems in AWS all share things like the same control plane.

If you are given only 5 days to comply with some request, that's how complicated your infra at AWS should be - so you can migrate to another provider in that time. Just use EC2 and basic primitives which are easy to migrate (ie S3, SES)

If that's your whole infra you really shouldn't be on AWS in the first place.

My only question is: where the hell was your support rep? Every org that works with AWS in any enterprise capacity has an enterprise agreement and an account rep. They should have been the one to guide you through this.

If you were just yolo’ing it on your own identification without a contract, well, that’s that. You should have converted over to an enterprise agreement so they couldn’t fuck you over. And they will fuck you over.

That is wrong in every way possible. Each service is isolated, has its own control plane, and often even split into multiple cells.
