Google would have to be more than 25% cheaper than Azure or AWS, and I don't mean "at least", I mean more than, as in closer to 33% or ideally 50% cheaper... before I would even contemplate them over the competition.
> To be fair I also would never use it because AWS and Azure have better support.
This is the salted earth that GCP have to till... Google sucks miserably at customer support and anyone that has interacted with them knows it, from the millions of android users who would flinch at the mere sight of a terminal prompt to the developers that have wrestled with GRPC services and who keep giving their code a chance. We all go through life see the facets glinting in the sunlight, weird error messages, a bad two factor interaction, terrible search results, business destroying story #12 this month from GCP + <some other service at google> ... little reminders of "oh yeah thats just Google, sucking as usual" and continue to remember how bad they are at customer support.
The very earth itself has been salted with the tears of the millions who have had sad interactions with Google...
And this is the ground GCP is trying to grow a business in...
Good luck to them.
They need it.
