Where does it say that GCE is more cost effective on that page?

Plus some of his Google perks are pretty niche (e.g. 10 TB disks, "migrations from something AWS no longer does is hard") and his sources actually are really terrible.

Most of his sources are fake, they're back to himself via "gigaom." Who then don't go on to cite or further clarify. The graphs link to a page which have a retraction at the top (by the same guy) who says they need to "update" them to be more "accurate" (whatever that means).

edit: The person above also appears to be linked to this "gigaom" place. So I'd take that with a massive pile of salt. Seems like it isn't a reliable source.

Janakiram was with Amazon as AWS evangelist (and Microsoft as Azure evangelist) before writing for Gigaom. Calling someone you barely know as fake is very rude. I suggest you focus on merits/demerits of the products.

Cost advantage is based on my personal experience with my current product Guesswork that runs on Google cloud and my previous product Kissflow that ran on both Google cloud and AWS.

I didn't say someone was fake, I said the source(s) were/are fake.

You cannot call something a "source" then link back to yourself, that isn't a source, that's just repeating. In this case the way they're citing sources is quite misleading, in particular as the articles they quote as sources don't themselves have sources.

So ultimately it isn't sourced material, it is just one person's quantitative and qualitative material.

I also find it a little suspect that you link to quora which is just a reference to Gigaom which you yourself likely have links to but fail to mention that as if you're some impartial party pointing at a useful piece of material. There's nothing wrong with referencing your own blog or site, but it is nice to let people know you're doing so rather than sending people through a quora answer as if you just randomly ran across it on Google.

The whole thing smells funny...

Ok. Is my credibility at stake now? :) You should read his article on AWS Lambda, in case you think he is one sided - http://research.gigaom.com/2015/01/why-aws-lambda-is-a-maste...
