GCP has a pretty bad reputation for shutting down accounts arbitrarily- there have been quite the horror stories from smaller companies.

- verdverm 8y agoI don't think there is much a reputation for killing accounts. Non-hn readers have no idea of the few isolated events that have been posted here. Most of these have to do with free tier. I've moved more than a dozen accounts to GCloud with no billing or removal issues. It only seems to be recent, not ongoing over 6 years. K8s is the best there too
- kerng 8y agoIt's just a risk the business owner should be aware of, best is to make sure you have a dedicated account manager.
- verdverm 8y agoThe risk of being effected by hardware failure in AWS is greater than the risk of account closing in GCP. Readers beware of the relative risk ratio. BTW, GCP automatically handles VM migration on hardware events, while AWS does not.
