AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning by Abdelkader Boudih (Seuros Blog)

After 10 years as an AWS customer and open-source contributor, they deleted my account and all data with zero warning. Here's how AWS's 'verification' process became a digital execution, and why you should never trust cloud providers with your only copy of anything.

This reads like a horror show and sounds like a worst of the worst case scenario. Tried to avoid cloud like Covid before thanks to a deep rooted distrust against big corporations, that can and will terminate accounts on a whim. This report is fuel to my trust issues but it’s far too easy to just yell “self-host” now. The admin tax is just too real and it sounds like you did everything properly. Thanks for this epic write-up Abdelkader and while Ruby isn’t my wheelhouse I love that you don’t let other devs bleed for the disgraceful treatment you experience. Best wishes for you and your future projects and keep speaking up!
