Manage episode 419245553 series 2521414
In this episode, we delve into the critical importance of Google Cloud disaster recovery planning through the lens of UniSuper's recent brush with catastrophe. When Google accidentally deleted UniSuper's entire VMware environment, the Australian pension provider faced the terrifying prospect of losing access to $125 billion in assets and the data of over 600,000 members.
Hosts W. Curtis Preston and Prasanna Malaiyandi dissect the incident, highlighting how UniSuper's adherence to the 3-2-1 backup rule and use of third-party backup solutions ultimately saved the day. They explore the key lessons learned from this Google Cloud disaster, including the importance of having isolated data copies, clear communication during outages, and a robust recovery strategy. This real-world case study serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with relying solely on cloud providers for data protection and the necessity of comprehensive Google Cloud disaster recovery planning.
