Yeah, that was my impression too. The fact is: Google is really afraid of AWS. Google knows that it's several quarters behind on cloud infrastructure deployment, and that the lack of presence in places like Australia is a problem.

That is why they're working like crazy to rush the 'miniclusters' project out of the door to try to capture market share in those regions before Amazon and Microsoft take everything and laugh on their way to the bank.

On top of that, Google's cloud offering is also behind in the tools and support department. Most of their projects are so behind schedule it's not even funny and will most likely miss their Q4 objectives.

Amazon and Microsoft have, today, much better offerings then Google will by the end of Q2 2015.

So, you are saying that you work for Google, and this is your view of Google Cloud Platform? Pretty strange to "bash" the company you work for - even if, in my humble view, this is honorable and PR should never give you a hard time for being honest like this (for me, Google just won points by having someone like you be so honest about his view).
