- peteretep 7y agoA CTO betting the farm on Google’s cloud is displaying reckless naivety. Google’s arrogance towards its customers is legendary.
- closeparen 7y agoSo is a CTO betting on Amazon never turning into Oracle.
- zwily 7y agoIt’s a game of probabilities, and right now P(Amazon turns into Oracle) < P(Google cancels GCP in 3 years).
- freehunter 7y agoAmazon turning into Oracle is bad but it's a lot less disruptive to a company's operations than GCP shutting down.
- bryanlarsen 7y agoWe're on Google because we're not betting the farm on them or anyone else. Google has the best Kubernetes hosting, but using Kubernetes allows us to move if anything drastic changes.
- kazen44 7y agodoes it though? Kubernetes is a complex system, and many if not most providers have a "okeish" setup at best.
