The Jankiest Disaster Recovery Ever: Duct Tape, Hope, and Resilience - Presentation (25 min)

Imagine your company has just transitioned to the cloud when suddenly, due to a Terms of Service conflict, your cloud provider shuts down your accounts. No warning, no cloud services, and a clear directive from management: no more cloud. What do you do? This talk is based on a true story, though certain details have been changed to maintain confidentiality. It's not about presenting a polished, textbook disaster recovery plan—because that went out the window the moment the cloud was off the table. Instead, this is a real-life, gritty case study of how to cobble together a functional environment from the remnants of old hardware and office machines lying around. We’ll dive into how a mix of creativity, open source technology, and sheer willpower kept a business running against all odds.
