There is NO WAY to retire Google Cloud...
This is the ultimate suicide you need to take to destroy public trust, once and for all.
- scarface74 7y agoHave you been following Google?
- tanilama 7y agoClosely yes. But I think even the idea of retiring is insane. This is not any free customer facing product. The impact is totally different.
- scarface74 7y agoYou mean like Google Fiber?
- tanilama 7y agoShoot....Forget about this one... But warranted, Google Fiber had never grown to Google Cloud's importance I would say
- ben_jones 7y agoThey literally had entire cities cheering for the arrival of their product, and they shuttered it.
- dralley 7y agoAt least the people who currently have it, will continue to have it (well, hopefully).

Google Fiber’s attempt to roll out its gigabit internet across the city of Louisville, Kentucky has apparently failed so spectacularly that the company has decided to completely shut down
- bduerst 7y agoThe purpose of Fiber was to push Comcast, ATT, and other incumbents to start installing fiber internet, which they have. Same as how Fi is focused on pushing cell phone providers to lower data costs and provide pay as you go, which they have. Cloud is selling extra server space in the same data centers that support Youtube.
- scarface74 7y agoSo was part of that “purpose” to tear up roads by “micro trenching” and then abandon the effort? And they aren’t just selling spare capacity. They are purposefully building out servers and products for customers.
- codingslave 7y agoYeah ending google cloud would basically be the end for enterprise products at Google, no way to recover
