I'm sorry you have that impression of Google Cloud. I'm wondering if you are referring to the recent story where the guy had his account deactivated? There was a follow-up to that story where the guy involved was actually extremely happy with the response and spoke about it publicly[0] (if you don't read it, note that their service was turned off because they were DOSing others). I'd at least recommend noticing that there are a number of high profile companies that host in Google Cloud and are happy with the service. http://www.businessinsider.com/google-cloud-won-skeptic-after-shutting-site-down-2016-8 http://www.businessinsider.com/google-cloud-won-skeptic-afte...

Sure. Read that. But the ends don't justify the means. Doesn't matter how happy he was, shutting down a whole account because one server was hacked is preposterous. The same situation happened to me on AWS, and if AWS had done the same, you can be sure I'd write the same thing about them. In fact, this is the only decent thing about AWS considering how shitty the various services are and what torture it is to use them. But at least AWS had the sense to shut down networking to the instance and leave the rest of the infrastructure alone. Common sense, apparently, can't even be bought with Google/Alphabet money.
