I feel you on Cloudformation :S
I haven't used Kubernetes on either platform - so there may be more to that.
One thing I really dislike about GCP is how expensive it is for personal or hobby use. I burned through $300 for a simple vm on GCP in a few weeks because their cheapest instances are so expensive.
- throwaway894345 6y agoYeah, navigating either platform is tough for hobbyists. I can get more lambda invocations than I’ll ever use for free but a single load balancer is like $30/month, never mind instances.
- slenk 6y agoYeah...yeah. I will say - reserved instance pricing is great on AWS if you know you will be there for a while.
- dilyevsky 6y agoHow? Their single core instance is like $25/mo, it took me months to burn through it
- gunshowmo 6y agoGKE in particular has a very high overhead cost per cluster. That's the only reason I bothered learning kOps and Terraform.
- dilyevsky 6y agoThat is incorrect. It costs $75/mo and they give you that as credit. Also why use gke if you’re trying to learn kubernetes? Single instance kubeadm cluster is perfectly fine for that purpose (even better)
- throwaway894345 6y agoIf you roll your own cluster without GKE, I believe you have to configure your own load balancers, ingress controllers, etc. Having some of that ready to go out of the box allows you to learn Kubernetes concepts more gradually.
