I couldn’t agree more. This and the cloud foundation toolkit for terraform is why we chose GCP, and it got us up and running with an impressive infrastructure in a few days.

Is your goal really to be up and running in a few days? My goal is to run for years without significant ops effort. Maintainence cost always, always dwarves development cost.
They are not mutually exclusive with something like GKE. We went up and running in a few days and been going strong for several years now.
My point is that setup speed is irrelevant if you're talking 2 days vs 2 weeks.
