> the capability to do things like run a VM and have it move between hardware when that hardware fails This is one of my favorite features of Google Cloud: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/live-migration-process https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/live-migrati... Unfortunately, Google continues to be the third-string provider in the US, so I don't often get the opportunity to work with Google Cloud.

I want to be able to justify using Google Cloud for projects, but the fact that it’s a Google product is the main obstacle to that. If history is anything to go by, relying on Google products and services seems like a great way to set yourself up for major problems down the line. Either the product you’re using is shut down on short notice or some automation flags a false-positive and you’re left screaming into the void trying to get yourself unbanned.
