It's not that simple. I'm not an expert at gurangutan scaling and I'd bet you're not either.

- m0zg 8y agoI am. I used to work at Google and on Cloud in fact. Fact of the matter is, 99.99% of Cloud users don't need "gargantuan" (I'm assuming that's what you meant) scaling. Most customers don't need terabyte-scale anything, let alone petabyte-scale anything. Their stuff could run just as well (and more reliably) on an isolated instance that Google SREs can't mess up. And don't get me wrong, this is not a dig at Google SREs -- they're far and away the best in the industry, but configuration of large systems is a de-facto SPOF.
