Cloud provider Railway says Google Cloud temporarily suspended its account without cause; in 2024, GCP deleted the account of an Australian pension fund (The Register)

Google Cloud Platform's sudden suspension of Railway's account without warning caused significant service disruption, highlighting critical risks of vendor dependency and the lack of due process in cloud provider account actions. This incident, combined with GCP's 2024 deletion of an Australian pension fund's account, underscores the urgent need for IT organizations to implement multi-cloud strategies and establish clear SLAs with accountability mechanisms to mitigate the business continuity threats posed by unilateral cloud provider actions.
