> Google, being an ad giant Isn't Google also a cloud giant?

  I wouldn't say so. They're not offering their cloud at the same scale other competitors. Not sure when the last was I saw advertising for unlike AWS, Azure. Felt more like their cloud services were more of a side product for when "the cloud" was the trendy buzzword and a way to justify their infrastructure costs. That and keeping a leg in the egg & spoon race.

    GCP is growing faster than either AWS or Azure, roughly 60% a year. AWS seems to have stagnated in growth. Azure is a clown car.

      Still wouldn't touch GCP with a 10-foot pole. Too much dependency in Google[0]. -- [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48396596 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48396596

    So your conclusion is based on advertising that you personally have noticed / haven't noticed?
