AWS accused of a ‘digital execution’ after it deleted 10 years of users' data without warning — software engineer details “complete digital annihilation” at the hands of AWS admins, claims false excuses given for account deletion

And the cloud giant is accused of a 'cover up' with the verification requested only after someone had accidentally wiped all the user's data.

A software engineer has warned against trusting cloud data storage services in a painstakingly detailed blog post detailing their own “complete digital annihilation” at the hands of AWS admins. Developer Abdelkader Boudih, pen name Seuros, says they had been a fee-paying AWS subscriber for a decade, with the cloud service becoming a firm part of their workflow. Suffice to say, the developer’s long-standing relationship with AWS has now ended acrimoniously.

    AWS charges for every little thing, so for them to then delete your data with no warning is kinda insane. I will say, if the author thought AWS was bad, they’re going to really feel it working on Oracle’s platform for whatever tooling they’re building to migrate out of AWS. In a few months there will be a similar blog post about Oracle suing him or something else insane. Sometimes the devil you know is better I guess?
