They're accelerating networking and block storage. Do you use those?

  Of course, but even if Google makes somehow networking 50% more efficient, I can't architect my projects around that because I have to run the same systems in AWS (and Azure, for that matter).

    It appears to me that Google is just matching what AWS Nitro did years ago.

      That's the flavor of it, but they didn't give us enough data to really think about. But the question stands generally for accelerators and offloads. For example would I go to a lot of trouble to exploit Intel DSA? Absolutely not, because my software mostly runs on AMD and ARM.
