I keep reading that Google Cloud is excellent. It is definitely enticing.

That being said, for me, the fact that it's Google is a big detractor. Non existent support, the worst documentation last I checked, and I read a "my account was closed unexpectedly" story every now and then.

Then there's the privacy angle, but the alternative companies are hardly bastions of user privacy themselves.

I worry that I will overcome my fears and start using it one day, only to years later try to undo that decision and wean off it like with Android, Search, Chrome, and (not yet) Gmail/GSuite.

Google's intro/free stuff is by far the best of the lot so def give it a try. e.g. Free VM 24/7 forever.

>Then there's the privacy angle

Don't think that's a big issue at dev level. They're interest in billions of users not tracking thousands of esoteric devs doing work stuff that has limited ad resale value.

>the worst documentation last I checked

Seemed fine to me. Probably better than azure
