Worked at a bank that named their container "cloud" platform GCP and it was in no way related to Google facepalm

Well, if you're so unimaginative as to call your cloud platform "<companyname> cloud platform", it's not the fault of the second company whose name also starts with a G.
Worse, the G was Gaia (ironically the personification of Earth in Greek mythology). They used "Gaia" as a name for all their internal cloud platforms
Hello fellow ex-employee of that bank. I was in a segment governed by PCI, and they wouldn't even let us touch Gaia in fear of the whole thing being declared in scope
