If you haven't, please read the classic "Dear Google Cloud: Your Deprecation Policy is Killing You" [1] by the always fantastic Steve Yegge (who used to work at Google). As he so succinctly put it, the email follows the standard Google GCP template:

Dear RECIPIENT,

Fuck yooooouuuuuuuu. Fuck you, fuck you, Fuck You. Drop whatever you are doing because it’s not important. What is important is OUR time. It’s costing us time and money to support our shit, and we’re tired of it, so we’re not going to support it anymore. So drop your fucking plans and go start digging through our shitty documentation, begging for scraps on forums, and oh by the way, our new shit is COMPLETELY different from the old shit, because well, we fucked that design up pretty bad, heh, but hey, that’s YOUR problem, not our problem.

We remain committed as always to ensuring everything you write will be unusable within 1 year.

Please go fuck yourself,

Google Cloud Platform

  [..] in the Google world, deprecation means: “We are breaking our commitments to you.” It really does.
  That’s what it ultimately means. It means they are going to force you to do some work, possibly a large 
  amount of rework, on a regular basis, as punishment for doing what they told you to do originally — as 
  punishment for listening to their glossy marketing on their website: Better software. Faster! You do
  everything they tell you to do, and you launch your application or service, and then, bang, a year or
  two later it breaks down.

I didn't know Steve was a Kubernetes admin!
