Not a huge fan of Google getting more control over the net. On the bright side, Cloudflare getting a serious competitor is good.

  Agreed. I just wish it wasn't Google. They "extinguished" a lot of good projects...

    Meh, I think they've grown up some and see what Amazon has done. Building infrastructure services for customers adds long-term revenue. BMW doesn't make you buy fuel injectors from someone else.

    Name one product in GCP (that had reached general release) that they have "extinguished".

        Not part of GCP. Yes they have a history of shutting down free services but things in GCP don't get shut down, they are products, products people pay for.
