Google Cloud CEO Being Replaced by Oracle's Thomas Kurian

  After the latest google cloud fiasco, this move was necessary. But I'm not sure taking the "Oracle guy" is a good idea. Maybe I'm wrong. Oracle probably has some good people.

    What "fiasco" are you talking about? I'm genuinely curious, don't know anything about it.

        I can't possibly see how Google Cloud's change of leadership and that could be related.

  It's possible this guy doesn't like Oracle culture either, and it's why he left Oracle. I mean, in a an infinite universe and all that.

    Then why would he stayed there for 20 years?
