Aah, i cant trust google services anymore, sadly. More so if critical.

I even treat my own gmail account with resignation these days.

My Picasa, my rss, my google chat.

Am i wrong to have never touched these cloud services?

I prefer dedicated servers even over AWS, too.

Edit: spellink

Edit2: people downvoting me to hell .. i have to defend my internet points a bit here ..

How should i treat these google services if not with this nihilism? Amazon isn't killing products.

Ill admit to liking kube, but mostly because its open source and “out there” where no one can kill it. Google publishing stuff thats 100% in its control sends a shiver down my long-term-service thinking. Add “Fleets” to it and i get a sense of dread at the thought.

Yes you are so totally right because a huge company scrapped a b2c legacy acquired photo product you liked whilst merging it with another service, they are going to shut down their multi-billion dollar b2b cloud offering in a strategic growth market at any moment without warning. Thank you for pointing this out! And can I say how much I enjoy seeing this same comment repeated on every google cloud post.

There's valid concerns about Google Cloud support (or lack thereof), Google account shutdowns without notice/recourse and Google price increases (ie: maps, kubernetes). Google shutting down cloud given its massive revenue and likely many long term contracts with horrible penalty clauses isn't I feel a valid concern.

Amazon has killed many products/services over the years...
