They do have a reputation issue, and it does cost them some business. There are CTOs who basically won't touch a google product in beta because there are so many things that get pulled.

That being said they are good at running vms and storage. They are really good at running kubernetes. Their network is amazing.

That is literally the point of calling it beta and why beta Google Cloud products have a different deprecation policy.

I would find it hard to take a CTO seriously who can't differentiate between beta and "generally available", or consumer product and enterprise cloud product.

It's a bit like saying you wouldn't use AWS because of Fire Phone.
