I would have said the same before using GCP. At first everything goes super smoothly and the experience is definitely better than AWS. Then you start seeing undocumented behaviour again and again. In comparison, it is much rarer to get any undocumented behavior in AWS.

- goalonetwo 3y agoFully agree with this. I have used GKE at scale as an example. It starts to break down significantly once your cluster reaches a couple hundred nodes. Only way to solve it is to have support resize your controller nodes manually. And as support for anything google is horrible, that task takes multiple hours.
