Based on my experience, Azure is not as good at AWS and Google at actually keeping things up and running when the shit hits the fan. And AWS is not as good as Google. (That said, AWS exposes a lot more to customers than Google does. Google may stay up, but I prefer running software in the AWS cloud.)
That isn't to say that all three aren't doing a lot right. Clearly they all are. And clearly they are all doing a lot right that I don't know how to do. But the fact that they do a lot right doesn't mean that they are equal.
- lostmsu 7y agoGoogle? Did not they have a multi-hour outage just a few days ago?
- briffle 7y agothey had some issues in the IAM services, causing retries and latency, but none of my gce and gke infrastructure showed anything on our monitoring.
- btilly 7y agoThey did. But which has had more outages in the last 5 years?
- posnet 7y agoThe biggest problem with GCP outages is that they've had multiple network issues that affected multiple north American regions at the same time. So maybe there are less of them on a per service basis compared the AWS, but when they do happen they are far more serious. The only AWS has had that came close was the us-east-1 s3 outage. But even that didn't break networking to running instances.
- ajaimk 7y agoGoogle employee here (my own statements, not the company's, blah blah blah). The incident last week was due to hardware failure and completely unrelated to Capacity or COVID. https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/zall/20002 https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/zall/20002
- lostmsu 7y agoI don't think this thread is about capacity. The comment I was replying to was about general service availability.
- blaser-waffle 7y agoYeah. Close to 12 hours. Router issue which broke a lot of stuff. Ugly, but transparent compared to AWS.
- kekskeks 7y agoI used all 3 aws providers and AWS is the most reliable, but hard to configure. Azure is much easier to use and require the least expertise. I don't see any reason to use google cloud, because it has couple of outages last year and even their UI is quite buggy. I noticed that every time someone post something negative about google here, their employees cowardly try to downvote such posts... So I will expect the same here.
