Re: OAAS (outage as a service)
My lot pulled out of one cloud contract (meant to secure a fuckload of historical data that t' government might express an interest in for up to seven years) when, during after-deployment tests, we attempted to restore a file from backup and they were like "what backups? This is just cold storage right?".
Internal Audit's guy was clearly struggling for words when the IT manager (famed for being 'adequately paranoid") said "we've not decommissioned the on-premise storage yet", and that was the end of the matter.
