This is fatal. I have a small pilot project on Google Cloud. Considering putting up a much larger system. Not now. The costs of Google may be comparable or low

The costs of Google may be comparable or lower than other services, but they don't seem to get that risk is a cost. Risk can be your biggest cost. And they've amplified that risk unnecessarily and shifted it to the customer. Fatal, as I said.
- timc3 8y agoMaking a decision purely based upon some posts on HN and the original artical isn’t a good idea either as there is little data on how often this happens and how often (and pulling the plug could happen with another IAAS). You need to weigh up your options for risk management based upon how critical your project is, the amount of time/money you have to solve the issues. You might never see this happen to your GCP account in it’s lifetime.
