Just out of curiosity why did you decide to use GCP rather than Azure or AWS?

- jobvandervoort 8y agoWe currently run on Azure. GitLab integrates deeply with Kubernetes and specifically GKE, so it makes sense to run GitLab.com there: https://about.gitlab.com/2018/04/05/gke-gitlab-integration/ https://about.gitlab.com/2018/04/05/gke-gitlab-integration/
- steve19 8y agoI am sure getting off your main competitors platform is a huge win now!
- gtirloni 8y agoAre you saying MS would sabotage Gitlab.com on Azure? Isn't Netflix running on the same platform (AWS) as Amazon Prime? Realistic speaking, what's the huge win for GitLab?
- steve19 8y agoTo answer your question: no I was not implying that. All it takes a someone in the billing department leaking metadata to a project manager for confidential information to leak (traffic numbers, storage trends etc.). Sure trust every employee of your only real competitor if you want, but I wouldn't if it was my business and I had alternatives.

- parvenu74 8y agoWhy should GitLab abandon Azure? Things are working for them just fine. Now when Google acquires GitLab I'm sure that moving to GCP will be a requirements but until then there's no threat to GitLab just because they are running on a platform owned by a Platinum member of the Linux foundation (something Amazon and Google can't say).
- telmich 8y agoThat is quite interesting. We are planning to offer IPv6 based kubernetes hosting with transparent reachability by IPv4. Are you interested in talking about that?
