> One never needs to login with different creds to access another project. You just use your Google login or activate a service account.

It's the same in AWS with AWS SSO/IAM Center. You only login once, and you can access every other account (project) you're allowed to access.

But you need to keep going back to the SSO console to switch accounts because only one can be active at once. With GCP you can have multiple tabs open with different accounts.

The best part is that the account is in the URL so you can just link to specific resources in different accounts. So many of our runbooks for GCP are like "click this link" whereas for AWS it is "make sure you are looked into {specific-account} then click this link". The latter is much more error prone and can break your workflow if you were doing something in a different account previously.

This* is a feature, not a bug for me – I use separate profiles in Chrome or Container Tabs in Firefox!

Edit: I realized you are talking about switching accounts twitter style. I don't mess with that - I use a separate Chrome profile. Also you are arguing for GCP, I thought you were arguing against it.

* Having separate accounts, not being able to have separate accounts - I know it's possible with AWS as AWS doesn't force you to use a single account.
