When you do get there, consider the Bulk Insert API on GCP and "Spot Fleets" on AWS (both make it easier for the provider to satisfy the entire request in one go).

Which is exactly your point! The uncertainty/confusion is now super high due to Oracle's actions. It's literally fear, uncertainty, and doubt. It's a bit like GPL and other open source licensing in the early days ("

I'm not sure that your conclusion follows. Google has levels and pay bands per level (you can see sampled data of it on levels.fyi). There are many problems with the promotion process at Google, but the malaise you describe isn't
