- crb 10y ago+1, though GCP is quite good with descriptive naming. I think it would get "spot on" in many more categories than AWS/Azure in this comparison. Compare: "Elastic Block Store" vs "Persistent Disk", "Security Group" vs "Firewall", "Lambda" vs "Cloud Functions"
- obulpathi 10y agoAgree 100%. For instances, you have standard, high memory and high CPU and custom. Super easy to make sense of rather than crawling through webpages to understand what each type of instance mean. For example: AWS has r, t, m, g, p instance types. When you look at the whole platform, naming, gotchas etc AWS creates lot of cognitive overhead for developers. I find Google cloud far easier to use, partially due to things like these.
