Also, GCE is a service while AWS is a suite of services. The correct comparison should be Google Cloud Platform (GCP) vs AWS. Guess it's nitpicking.. but still.

- user5994461 10y agoI don't think this is nitpicking. This is probably the single biggest issue with Google right now: Don't know how to call their services. GCE - GCP - Google Cloud - Google Compute Engine - Google Cloud Platform ??? I can see on that blog's analytics that people are looking for various terms which result in different articles and ranking. This needs to be unified by Google. Personally, I think I'm gonna call everything "Google Cloud".
- inopinatus 10y agoAmazon also suffers from the bewildering-array-of-confusingly-named-services syndrome.
- manigandham 10y agoIt is unified, they have some of the simplest naming. GCP is Google Cloud Platform which is the entire ecosystem. GCE is Google Compute Engine which is the VM/IaaS offering within.
