Really sad Google just continues to do this BS.

At the company I work for, we are seriously evaluating moving off of AWS (about ~$10k/mo bill).

This is not going to fly.

Try digitalocean. Their offerings are competitive, with a fraction of the price. With that kind of low cost, you can have failovers elsewhere. Like Linode, or even Hetzner.
