I'm not orchestrating a 1000k-node cluster, but for my needs, the google cloud has been excellent. It seems they are doing something right if they're attracting Linode/DO customers like me and AWS customers at the same time.
From the benchmarks I've seen, their computing instances also over much better perfomance/$ than AWS, especially in IO.
(But I have no experience with app engine so we could both be right)
- tyingq 11y agoAppEngine is a somewhat clunky experience because of the walled garden nature it presents. For example, you can't write to a local filesystem in the way that you normally would, no listen sockets, etc. And, while I don't have as drastic an opinion as others, there are operational issues. The most recent one was mysteriously disappearing outbound emails. These are worse than they should be, because there's no real way to escalate and get someone's attention, even if you're willing to pay for it. The support model is not the same as for the newer Cloud services.
- astazangasta 11y ago>I'm not orchestrating a 1000k-node cluster Is this right? Do you really mean 1 million nodes? Even if only 1000 nodes, who are the people using the high end of computing power, and for what?
- matt4077 11y agoLet's put it this way: I am indeed not orchestrating a 1 million node cluster and the statement is therefore technically true, which some say is the superior truth anyway :)
