They can't really shut Google Cloud down and still be charging people to exit.
And if they had suddenly seen the light on egress fees then surely they would have cut egress fees everywhere..... the fact that it's only on account closure is kinda suspicious.

- joeldo 3y agoClosing down within a year of it finally becoming profitable.. That would be a plot twist!
- justinclift 3y agoBut also not out of the question for Google, who don't seem at all rational about what they kill vs let live.
