It recently hit GA and is super fast. You can use it from anywhere -- not just GCE.
(Disclaimer: I used to work at Google on GCE/GKE/Kubernetes).
- zobzu 11y agoIt;d be nice if someone proposed a comprehensive comparison of google cloud vs aws, including featureset compare, porting-to-and-from compare, and benchmarks. /dream
- hatred 11y agoI wonder if anyone has implemented a benchmarking library for at least the trivial/used operations between AWS/GCE/Azure ?

- miles932 11y agodisclaimer: I work at GCP Let's not dream, let's get started! A few challenges (list gets longer every day, some asymmetric features), but I think it's a great idea. Since it's got to be grown/updated constantly, where should it live, maybe a github page? Benchmarks is pretty close via this: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/PerfKitBenchmarker https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/PerfKitBenchmarker I'm interested; what parts do you think you could contribute? It strikes me as a thing that's far more valuable if the community does it.
- zobzu 11y agoyeah its far more valuable for me if someone does it for me too hahaha. id think google has enough money to assign people to it if they want them to switch from aws. community can always build on that.
- coleca 11y agoGoogle Container Registry is definitely a lot faster than DockerHub in my experience. However, it is still lacking some important features, like being able to delete an image. We have a CI pipeline building Docker images and pushing to GCR. This is using a ton of storage and there is no documented method to remove un-needed images. They did recently add an option to un-tag an image by clicking an "X" on each tag, but it still doesn't remove the image from the Google Cloud Storage bucket that it is stored in, just removes the tag. Occasionally we will have issues with using the "latest" tag as well where we can push an image to latest but when we retrieve the image, we get a previous version. For the most part we eliminated using the latest tag, which is probably a good idea anyways.
- eknkc 11y agoI believe when you remove all tags, it just deletes the image (takes a little time though, there seems like to be an async cleanup operation). I remember having the data gone from storage bucket too but gonna check again.
- coleca 11y agoI sent an email to Google last week and they responded: "One of the things we are investigating is opt-in garbage collection to clear out old and unreachable images from the graph, but we do not have this today."
