- evilmushroom 7y agoI have to use both. I find google easier to do simple things.. but I find it lacks some of the flexibility AWS has for less simple things. Well, that and Google's managed k8s solution was down for multiple days awhile back when I was doing a comparison. Another reason I use EKS atm.... despite I think GKE is a bit better.
- obulpathi 7y agoI don't know when this happened. Give GKE a try, it's really amazing. Blows EKS out of water. As per the flexibility is concerned, once you learn how to use Google Services, you can get the flexibility with simplicity. AWS services are too complex and even things like billing require a PhD degree in finance to optimize for anything non-trivial.

- flurdy 7y agoThe lock-in with not just all your infrastructure with one provider but also all the skills and proficiencies with one provider's stack is a high risk that I ranted about recently: https://blog.flurdy.com/2019/06/all-eggs-in-one-cloud-basket.html https://blog.flurdy.com/2019/06/all-eggs-in-one-cloud-basket... Having your teams doing little POCs with other providers will ease your project/company cloud bus-factor significantly.
