Google is dumping money into their enterprise programs. They hired some experienced people to run it. Their offerings are soooo much better quality than AWS. Try getting a GPU vm with a local SSD on AWS, does not exist... In GCP I can set custom values for CPU, MEM, GPU, SSD. Try to ssh to a machine, and then one without a public network connect.

Google is the only provider with a good portal to their partner program. They can actually communicate and we now have a dedicated account rep.

I'm pretty sure that's not true. I believe you can get V100s or T4s with local NVMe SSDs.

I looked just before the T4 landed at Amazon a monthish ago, GCP has had them almost a year now.

You're right though, what I meant was a machine I could do a hypervisor with, which is any VM on Google Cloud. Need baremetal on AWS, and that type does not have GPU options.

They're good until you get automatically banned for some reason and there is zero people you can contact to fix it.

Maybe don't run your critical service on a consumer google account that you're also doing shady stuff with?

I have people I can call, we have a business account.

We are going to be upgrading soon to a special partner account that gives us an enhanced portal / cloud console to make managing our clients' accounts much easier.

We migrate companies from AWS to GCP. If anyone is interested, please reach out. Happy to provide reference accounts.
