A week of downtime and all the servers were recovered only because the customer had a proper disaster recovery protocol and held backups somewhere else, otherwise Google deleted the backups too
Google cloud ceo says “it won’t happen anymore”, it’s insane that there’s the possibility of “instant delete everything”
Money. It’s a lot cheaper to let somebody else maintain your systems than to pay somebody to create and maintain your own, directly.
No I meant that Google Cloud is very invasive. Why not to use a more ethical provider?
Why do you think it’s invasive? How do you quantify which providers are less invasive?
Google is one of the most privacy invasive companies in the world. And judging by encryption standards, terms of service and privacy policies
Are you sure you’ve not just read bad stuff without verification on the internet and feel the need to chime in on something you don’t fully understand?
Yes. I read Google’s policies many times.
Me too as a programmer that uses Google cloud to store government information. Which bit of the policy says they are going to access your data, shouldn’t take you long to link it to me if you read them as much as you say. Unless what you’re actually doing is spreading misinformation and bullshit.
I’m not the one who you were responding to, but considering google’s history, I don’t believe anything they claim, because they have lied so many times in the past, and because every “privacy guarantee” they provide is practically unprovable. It’s nothing more than wishful thinking to think that google does nothing with government data stored with them, with google classroom data of millions of children, and others. They have shown that they can’t be trusted.
This. Even if by some miracle Google isn’t accessing everything on corporate cloud, it is an evil company and the policy can change. It’s a very untrustworthy and unreliable base for a business. And I’m not even talking about the fact that businesses that pay for the cloud are financially supporting Google
If they lied about this and are accessing very confidential information I think my company would sue the giblets off Google.
You need to remember we are talking about Google Cloud, the enterprise services they offer and not Gmail and search engines.
