gcp was net negative until last year. Big part of why clouds are expensive is not necessary hardware, but all software infra and complexity of all services.

- oblio 8mo agoAll the big clouds are still in market share acquisition mode. Give it about 5 more years, when they're all in market consolidation and extraction mode.
- direwolf20 8mo agoMaybe not worth using then. Your product costs 5x and delivers 0.2x of competing product in the adjacent product class (traditional server/VPS), why use it?
- riku_iki 8mo agothose who don't need cloud services are feel free to use other options.
- direwolf20 8mo agoWhich cloud services do you need?
- riku_iki 8mo agoDB with cross zone replications and HA for starter.
- direwolf20 8mo agoDoes HA mean failover or does it mean multi–master?
- riku_iki 8mo agoIt means high availability.
- direwolf20 8mo agoDo you know what that means? If you don't know what it means, how do you know you need it?
- riku_iki 8mo agoI see you are trolling, bye
- direwolf20 8mo agoI'm understanding that you have no idea what high availability means, you only know that you need it and the cloud has it. Great marketing by the cloud.
