Features aside, I simply don't trust Google to keep GCP running in the long term.
Their propensity to kill projects (even ones which are successful), plus their gratuitous price hikes (aka Google Maps) has made me Goggle negative.
Sure, they might run GCP forever. Sure they may offer some sort of customer service at some point. Sure they may decide to keep pricing at sane levels. The key work in all that is "might" - and that requires my _trust_.
And for better, or worse, my trust simply isn't there.
- CuriouslyC 2y agoI 100% feel you on the google trust. I think it'll end up being central to a lot of their other efforts so I'm expecting it to stick around, but hybrid cloud solutions are just a smart bet anyhow.
- magicalhippo 2y agoFor us Google wasn't even on the table, due to what you mentioned. It was AWS or Azure. AWS didn't have a data center in our country and our customers are required by law to keep their data in the country, so easy win for Azure.
