Why would GCP expand when they are looking to kill the product offering?
- ernsheong 7y agoThere is a lot of snark surrounding GCP. I'll just leave this here: https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/infrastructure/new-google-cloud-regions-for-2020 https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/infrastructure/new-goog... This year alone GCP will launch new regions in Delhi (India), Doha (Qatar), Melbourne (Australia) and Toronto (Canada).
- karambahh 7y agoCan you elaborate on this? I've never heard before that they are trying to kill GCP?
- sah2ed 7y agoPerhaps they are basing it on this [1] ultimatum supposedly issued by GCP’s top brass to best the top 2 cloud providers by a certain date. It was widely discussed on HN some months ago. 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21815260 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21815260
- res0nat0r 7y agoYeah that conversation was pretty silly and more HN echo chamber because folks are mad that Google Reader was shutdown. Below is what I commented a few months ago re: this topic. > Google is currently building a massive $500 million datacenter outside of Reno as we speak, and has 10+ billion invested in their datacenter cloud offering buildout this year alone. > https://9to5google.com/2019/07/01/google-data-center-nevada/ https://9to5google.com/2019/07/01/google-data-center-nevada/ > https://www.rgj.com/story/money/business/2019/02/13/google-i.. https://www.rgj.com/story/money/business/2019/02/13/google-i....
