"Business Continuity Planning" isn't just about "US-EAST-1 went offline, how do we manage fail over and uptime". It also includes things like "this whole platform has been discontinued/gone bankrupt/KilledByGoogle/quintupled in price/been MegaBreached, how does my business/project survive?"

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange "their AI decided one of our employees were in violation of the ToS and therefore terminated our account, and any communications about getting it restored must be done through the email address on file for which domain registrar, DNS and email is hosted with them"

"their employee used an internal tool incorrectly wiping our whole organizational account with zero recourse and we were only finally told what happened several weeks later"

(Tell me these things haven't happened...)

Someone once coined the phrase "The underwear problem".

Basically, until relatively recently, it wasn't possible to decouple the amazon.com account that first set up an AWS root account from the store account. So it ended up with the whole company's AWS account being tied to the same account the founder uses to buy underwear.
