We did a performance analysis of Google Cloud vs AWS. The results are in line with what is published in the post. The biggest thing that we can not quantify is "ease of use". Google Cloud is a pleasure to work with. AWS feel so c

Yep. That's right.Google has built their custom networking. It's like when a machine A sends packet to machine B, the packet is handed over to Google SDN (Software-defined Network), which carries to over their private network and

Highly recommended! I was able to get a pretty good understanding of Deep Learning using this book. The book contains really good analogies (like explaining how a basic neuron works using a real life decision model) to help you understand t

I am sure Google Cloud has VPC stuff for all the components, including Cloud SQL. It lacks the variety (No PostgreSQL, Oracle, MSSQL, or MariaDB). All traffic is encrypted by default on all posts (Google Cloud does this for free) too.

App Engine expects your web apps to return almost immediately (in a matter of few ms). For anything that takes longer, you need to use task queues in App Engine. Or maybe try AppEngine Managed VM's?

I have been running my website on AppEngine for 6+ years now. No problems at all.

True, while other providers focus on DevOps, Google Cloud strives for NoOps. They should do more marketing on that.

Google Cloud has MySQL for RDS. Agree that its lacks Oracle, MSSQL and Postgres. You can use managed Postgres by Enterprise if you like. If you are startup and running Oracle in AWS / Google Cloud, that's probably not a wise choic

Let's look at Google vs AWS from people's time: * Ease of use: Google Wins(Cloud Shell, SSH into instance from browser). Its far easier to spin up an instance and manage it on Google Cloud than AWS with VPC mess. * Platform Cohesi

For startups planning to host their infrastructure on AWS, a better alternative might be to go with Google Cloud or other cheaper alternatives. This can significantly increase the startups runway, by lowering the operational costs. Google C

A very interesting point! Cloud services cost tons of money. For companies running on AWS, a better alternative might be to migrate to Google Cloud or alter cheaper alternatives. Google Cloud lacks some bells and whistles at this point but

Google Cloud is not just App Engine now. Its pretty much the equivalent to aws in features. Let me also say I have PhD in Cloud and big data (graduated in 2013), worked for Amazon aws, worked for an rackspace for year and half, I was a core

I wish they add support for sending money internationally. That would be a killer feature for Google Wallet!
