Behold the power of panic.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If you are keeping data of any sort (code would be data) on a cloud system then you should keep backups on another cloud company.
Just to be clear it isn't sufficient to have another server within the same company, it must be a different company.
There are any number of reasons why a single company is insufficient. Some possible reasons
1. They no longer want to be in the cloud business and told you so, 6 months ago, and you ignored it. Today the server is no longer there. Or they no longer want you as a customer. (As a business it might be the case that they told the employee this on the same day you fired that employee.)
2. The location that actually hosts the physical server blew up - literally. (I read a story about a hosted service that had this happen to their hosting company, when the electrical substation that existed solely to support the hosting center literally blew up. It required not only replacing the substation but replacing the electrical conduits into the company.)
3. The feds seize the company for any number of reasons and walk in and shutdown the servers one day.

You found a way to make intelligent zombies and you didn't share it with the rest of us ?
Shame on you!
Right now I could have intelligent army of super zombies and I would have conquered Middle Earth.
Clones will do too.
