How about: Security groups Creating load balancers Creating and managing access to cloudsql vs rds Gcp internal request limits Gcp documentation is not task oriented. (How do I “X”) Getting effective support is impossible.

That looks like at least six important things that are significantly harder on GCP.

Don’t get me wrong, I like GCP. I just hate that they are failing in ways I think are so clear and simple to fix if they’d change their thinking. Oh also, critical components being alpha/beta and unsupported, but no alternative existing. (I’m think of the kubernetes monitoring thing who’s name I forget)

One thing I HAVE liked is cloudshell, being able to spawn an authenticated shell into any resource without having to figure out access from my location.

iam authenticated access to a cloudsql instance is exactly what I’m trying to do right now… and it’s not surprising why people give up and hard code credentials…
