Gcp is listed in the article but not the title. Strange title selection but they were considered.

I should have worded my question better, I was just surprised why you would leave out arguably the top 3 companies and go with something like Oracle. (Maybe I am too young and that's where my animosity for Oracle comes from, but I feel like they are way behind the curve in terms of their cloud).

Oh no, I totally have the same question. I just wanted to make it clear that GCP was in the running since that was in your comment.

But yea, I don't get it either. I'd be curious to know why.

free credits. I've heard of deals giving out $50mm+ in credits over five years before... also gives you some insight into AWS/GCP/Azure margins.

Good point. I wonder how deals like this are structured on the accounting backend.
