The author is an egotistical moron and you should save your time and avoid reading this article. As clearly nobody in the comments has. They just devolve into crying about how important they are, admit heaps of fault and hand wave it as not their problem, and then spout conspiracies about why their account was deleted.

Maybe… just maybe you could have just verified your account in time as you were contractually obligated to do. 3-4 business days with 5 days warning… you’re just incompetent no matter how smart all your Ruby friends and “free AWS consulting” makes you feel.

This moron literally tried to insist that the premise wasn’t that he put all his eggs in one basket because he had “multi-region replication” and claimed independence from US infrastructure.

News flash: AWS is the same company, and that “multi region replication” is AWS replicating their data, not yours. These are features of their platform that underpin their SLA and SLO contracts they signed with you, not YOUR use.

First you can work on not being a loser
