GCP is different though. Much better SLA.

It is almost like saying you can't trust computers in medical field because consumer windows 95 machines crash.

Disclosure: Work at Google.

Steve Yegge, a former Googler & GCP Customer begs to differ. From my experience GCP does deprecate a lot of libraries, SDKs, and APIs. None of which are covered in the SLA policy.

Yeah no. I know of several cases where people have not even considered GCP as an option because of both Google's and GCP's support reputation.

Google has squandered their goodwill with the community the last 10 years, and it's always the current/former Googler's who can't seem to see it.

You might want to work somewhere else so you hear some differing opinions, pretty much nobody I know wants to implement on top of google products including GCP because of the perceived churn.

FWIW, before I worked at Google, we selected GCP over AWS/Azure. Was very happy with the result.

What were you using it for? I'll be upfront in saying that my experience with GCP was awful, but I can appreciate that others found it useful and would be curious to learn more.

I'm a Cloud Developer / Sysadmin and I've heard some bad stuff regarding GCP's support from my peers. Not considering it anytime soon.
