Go look up how to create a load balancer on gcp. Last I looked there were six pages none of them simple and clear. I just want to know how to create one. It’s one simple thing. The essential part of any cloud service.

Now go read the aws documentation on an ALB. One page, this is how you create one and this is how you use it.

Azure on the other hand arrived late with a spectacular business plan. “You already pay me for software, cloud is part of that”. They won enterprise cloud in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile Gcp wrestles with writing task oriented documentation, easy things are obscure or weird. (Compare security groups at aws with gcp, now look again. You didn’t get it the first time ) also if you’re designing a service there’ll be some critical thing that just doesn’t work. The old thing is deprecated the new thing is beta. (You fool! Don’t use beta things in production! Oh sorry there’s the non beta thing I can use? There isn’t one) or the feature you need to complete your task will never arrive because there’s a pissing march between gcp and k8s over who’s job it is to make the ingress work as desired.

Also, as others have said their support is garbage (I found a customer evangelist who was amazing if I could wait 3 days to get a response)
