GCP is reflective of Google's internal architecture, just as Azure and AWS are reflective of Microsoft and Amazon. This isn't surprising, they're leveraging the same foundation they used to launch their flagship products in terms of infrastructure, knowledge, and culture.
Google is very different internally from the enterprise loving Microsoft, and they're more technically fluent than the customer focused Amazon. Googles edge targeting and process scheduling are also very different.
These differences make GCP a very different product than it's competition. Azure is essentially leveraging the ecosystem fracture that Microsoft already holds, and the fact that Microsoft knows how to speak the slow drawl of enterprise. GCP is situated to solve things the Google way, which isn't the way most people run their infra.
- mirceal 8y agoYes, yes. The Google “way”. Because everyone has the same issues google has and wants to solve them in the same manner. /s Google lost the Cloud Train. They need to focus on things that work and I would not be surprised if GCP was not a thing 5 years from now.
- halbritt 8y ago"...slow drawl of the enterprise." Not sure that I've ever seen this articulated so brilliantly.
- Zee2 8y agoThis truly is an incredible bit of literary imagery. I've never heard it before yet it is so very accurate.
