I'm not sure that's the lesson to learn from this outage. Hell Google resolved the problem in 7 minutes which is as good as you could hope for.
The resulting action should be you have proper disaster recovery, failover, etc.
Not sure I would trust these folks if this is the conclusion they are coming to from this experience. Any cloud provider can/will do this to you.
Google resolved the problem in seven minutes for a billion dollar company. Good luck if you are a nobody.
The best you could hope for is that if there is something fishy with your account, you are contacted by Google to address it.
Google restored access but did not resolve the problem. VM’s were still shut down.
