Separate like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure you mean?
I find this really strange. This would hardly be a subtle deception. Are people not able to compartmentalize? Commercial is not consumer. GCP is commercial and has SLA‘s and deprecation policies no different from AWS and Azure.
- dx034 8y agoI can't remember when I last heard someone saying "Amazon Web Services". It's commonly called AWS and while most people know it's owned by Amazon, it's a very distinct product. Google Cloud follows the same naming pattern as other Google products, many of which were discontinued. These things shouldn't make a difference but I believe they do, and they help to shield AWS from negative press around Amazon.
- manigandham 8y agoAmazon and Microsoft don't have the same history of shutdowns on the consumer side though. They both have product churn but Amazon is ecommerce that has always expanded while Microsoft has been providing Windows and Office for decades. Google makes way more consumer product launches and then suffers from the reputation of shutting these down. So yes, developers should know the difference between commercial and consumer but unfortunately there's too much historical baggage. Also, while the commercial side could be defended before, the Maps API pricing change was just as bad as a shutdown for many customers.
