Whenever I ask a CTO if they have a backup (or plan-B) they say we're on AWS, we backup there and they will never go down as a company. And then I ask them what they do when their account gets shut (e.g. because they are selling something bad on Amazon and have the same phone number as the company account?) Or the instance some years ago where GCP closed because someone had wrongly classified image on their drive?

You should have all you backups in a different location and terraform tested with a different cloud provider, otherwise you're risking the company.

[Edit] Where I come from: That doesn't say anything about Hetzner, I have been with them for 20+ years, they have stopped individual servers in that time frame, but haven't cancelled my whole account.
