Don't forget S3-IA after we released Nearline. Also all those sudden price drops (particularly [1] the day after [2], and just last week the Glacier one [3] after Coldline [4]). Everyone wins (or at least consumers of Cloud services) from this competition. So I'm glad to hear it! Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

    I know you're just joking, but I have honestly considered moving the Disclosure line to the top. Besides, maybe folks in Search and Ads can take pride in Cloud, too ;).

      I appreciated the disclosure...I admit I just didn't even know what Nearline is!

      People in Search and Ads consider the Cloud more of a pocket change sized hobby ;-)

Not lonely. GCP is doing several good things. (disclosure: I worked at AWS for 6 years; I think I know the space a bit).

This seems like a small tweak on IAM and consolidated billing which AWS had first, didn't they?
