DannyBee, in a sibling reply to yours, points out that Google has made some legally binding commitments about the longevity of the Cloud products: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17997494 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17997494 No, it wouldn't require them to keep it operating if all of Google was simultaneously destroyed by meteors. But it would probably allow lawsuits against Google if they didn't give the required advance notice merely due to a change in business strategy, without a sufficient reason. Interestingly, AWS doesn't have that kind of guarantee, though they do have a long public cloud track record of not turning stuff down. You make a lot of additional good points about why these Google products are safe. I'm not convinced I'd put Domains in that list, and for G Suite and GCP I'd only put the core services (G Suite jargon) and GA offerings (GCP jargon). Plus some other services under those umbrellas if Google has told you something about their plans under NDA, which they do for many customers. But Google reliably provides transition plans and data exports if they do turn anything down, and I expect that will continue. (Disclosure: I formerly worked for Google and GCP in particular, but no more recently than early 2015 and I have no current insider info.)
