> It has a great UI (material design) ... I disagree here. I find Google's UI to be the clunkier one. Sure, AWS is positively antique, but it's clean, readable, understandable and predictable in a homely Web 2.0 (or even 1.0) way. Google's UI seems haphazardly put together by comparison, from the super tiny font to how common tasks are too often hidden away — the hamburger menu and the project selector being two examples. The progress of a task is also often hidden away and fairly inscrutable, such as when creating a container cluster. When I started looking into the container support, I found that there's basically no web console for it. You can create clusters and see some summary of status about the cluster, but you can't see pods, replication controller settings, etc. — it turns out that the "Container Engine" is little more than a prebuilt Linux image with a startup shell script that starts up Kubernetes. AWS's ECS is the same way, but at least it has screens for creating jobs, adjusting resource settings and so on. Google Cloud seems pretty great, but the web console definitely has a long way to go. |
