Choosing a cloud provider is about more than just performance. For me, I lean towards GCP because of the combination of awesome UX, custom VM configurations (which also means GPUs attached to a custom # CPUs), no-bidding spot instances, and the multi-regional cloud storage offering that replicates data across many regions for much cheaper than AWS.
I wrote about this last year if you're curious: https://medium.com/@robaboukhalil/a-tale-of-two-clouds-amazon-vs-google-4f2520516a38 https://medium.com/@robaboukhalil/a-tale-of-two-clouds-amazo...
- yovagoyu 8y agoYeah, because who cares about performance when you have a pretty UX?
- hueving 8y agoYou're confusing UX with UI. You can have an excellent UX that's still just a CLI.
- yovagoyu 8y agoGoogle uses "gsutil" and "gcloud" whereas AWS just uses "aws". Both are clear but because Google arbitrarily has 2 tools I constantly have to remember which one had which feature. It's not a big thing but little stuff like makes it more cumbersome to use.
- ernsheong 8y agoThere's also bq for BigQuery stuff. If they did merge... it would be "gcloud bq..." or "gcloud storage...", my fingers protest :)

- ravedave5 8y agoAWS API gateway is one of the worst UIs I've ever used in my life. Lambda isn't great either. That said I love AWS, but I haven't used GCP much.
