- gkop 10y agoThis is true, however Amazon's standard BAA is a bit more robust than Google's. This didn't stop my HIPAA-compliant company from choosing Google, but it does make it more difficult to compare the two clouds on HIPAA-friendliness.
- mikecb 10y agoThere's been a lot of talk in the compliance gcp slack on this, seems like a lot of products are being audited and announcements will be made at Next.
- gkop 10y agoLet's hope they are building the managed Postgres product from the ground up with an eye toward compliance!

- gkop 10y agoAWS launched Postgres RDS in November 2013. They covered MySQL and Oracle RDS under BAA in August 2015. But AWS didn't add Postgres RDS to the BAA until November 2016. We're hoping GCP doesn't delay covering Postgres Cloud SQL under BAA like AWS did with their managed Postgres.
