I always think about how impossible it will be for GCP to compete with AWS. The work culture at AWS has been brutal for a decade. High standards for work, and insane amounts of oncall/ops reduction. A burn and churn machine that has created AWS. Google is a laid back company with great technology, but not the culture to grind out every detail of getting cloud to really work. Microsoft is another story altogether, as they already have a ton of corporate relationships to bring clients.
- baggy_trough 4y agoWell personally, I find GCP highly reliable and easier to understand than AWS.
- abofh 4y agoHopefully you can fund their operations for the coming quarter then, linked in suggests even GCP SRE's are on the chopping block.
- zamnos 4y agoYeah. No one ever went wrong with hosting in US-east-1. Oh wait.
- ec109685 4y agoAWS is architected in a way that makes global failures harder, e.g. VPC’s only span a region.
- jvolkman 4y agoSo instead people just stuff all of their infrastructure into one giant region and hope for the best.
- nijave 4y agoThat, or it's the customers fault for not reading the docs and building their thing wrong
- zamnos 4y agoAh yes, blame the victim style of debate.
- bananapub 4y agoif you put everything in us-east-1, then when you're down, then so almost everyone else who might write about you or criticise you
- nightpool 4y agoThe last time us-east-1 went down, if memory serves, it took down the entirety of ec2 provisioning with it.
- Terretta 4y agoAWS was architected this way. They were starting to bend to GCP sales pressure* to globalize. Fingers crossed this slows that roll. * actually enterprise I.T. purchasing demand, to be clear
