I want to like Google Cloud, but it just seriously lags AWS.
Amazon got everything so right with an ID and secret. GC's oauth is just cumbersome, and the CLI tools are nowhere near as user friendly as aws-cli.
Two other recent examples - the lack of granularity and inflexibility of GC's IAM perms (you need to faff around with roles which even as an Owner you can't create - they need to be done at the org level, WTF?), and GC support is miles behind.
I opened a support ticket for a critical issue recently, and the initial response I received when someone looked at it fell into the repeating-back-to-me-what-I'd-told-them-in-the-ticket category. Then they suggested I "check the permissions are right", which as I told them "I don't know what's wrong or what needs checking, that's why I opened the ticket". It's just lucky the issue didn't affect our prod account or we'd have been in real trouble since they're still investigating even though we're probably one of their top-tier customers.
AWS support has always been second to none for me. GC support has always for me been second to, well, Amazon...
