It's a bit light for a press release. Considering RedHat is officially promoting AWS on their website, providing more information to let people know whether the offering on Google Cloud will be better or similar would have been better.

Yeah, it seems to be missing the "click here for next steps / further information" bit, which is less than optimal. :(

Ugh. So it's literally still RH Gluster, needing manual setup.

Also, there's a sentence on the end of the GlusterFS section there saying:

"If you want to deploy a Red Hat Gluster Storage cluster on Compute Engine, see this white paper for instructions on how to provision a multi-node cluster that includes cross-zone and cross-region replication:"

Apart from the typo (pedant alert!), the URL on "white paper" goes to a non-public document only Red Hat subscribers have access to. That should probably be that fixed, so non-Red-Hat-subscribers can read the doc and know what they'll need to do up front.

If people need to subscribe to RH in order to get that info... just to know what they need to do... that's probably going to hinder adoption. Potentially by a lot. ;)
