I currently do AWS infra. This is job security to me, because every time Google shutters another product, a whole cohort of companies chooses AWS over GCP because we all know Google will pull the plug on GCP any day now.
- xtracto 4y agoYes. I am a Technical Advisor for early startups, and I will invariably recommend AWS over Google Cloud to people exactly because of this. I would not trust Google with any small piece of my company. I don't doubt that they CAN do things right, but I am sure they WONT, given their implicit monopoly status. Their arrogant "don't give a shit" attitude about users of their different platforms is amazing. One just have to see how they treat their actual customers of their Ads platform, and think, if that's how they treat their customers, what can non-customer "lusers" of the other subsidized platforms (including GCS which is being subsidized at this point) expect.
