https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_products#Discon... Let's not pretend that there was only one "really used" service they pulled. At Google's scale, every service is "really used".
Yeah because iGoogle had a loyal and dedicated following of users that were being underserved by the web desktop market?
He linked a TON of projects that have been shut down. The logic of your message seems to be "they only shut down things that aren't popular, therefore you should feel fine using this really niche product that will never expand beyond a small group of developers."
And for the record, I did use iGoogle. And there were plenty of people who used Wave, Reader, Code, and Labs.

#103Coming from an AWS shop, I guess I don't understand the use case(s) for this. What this enable me to do that I couldn't accomplish by ssh'ing to any of the boxes in my environment?
I use AWS extensively as well, but really like this product plan. Ultimately what AWSClassic does is give you a lot of baremetal boxes to drop AMIs on. Google's changing that to the containerized model by offering direct services that are scheduled on hardware. As Kubernetes becomes more and more the primary method for deploying apps on Google's managed services, this approach will pay off more. But it's worth nothin…

Please. Even for an advanced VPC configuration, you're looking at 1-2 hours tops for setup. If you want point and click, go to Digital Ocean. Complex tools are always going to have a learning curve.

I wasn't explicit with my earlier comment, you're right about the beta period. I was referring to after when they exit beta and are a good, useful service for a year or two.
Which would be understandable if they ever shut down any cloud service offering of this level before (which they have not). This whole "Google loves to shut stuff down" is really tired and overplayed. Go ahead and compare Google's track record with Apple's or Microsoft's, or any other company. They are about on par, yet Google almost always gives 6+ months notice (often over a year), provides one-click alternatives,…
"or any other company"
Any other company? You've named three. Truth is enterprise grade companies that serve the business market and don't give their products away for free or participate in a race to the bottom typically don't do this type of thing to the degree that google does. Perhaps the companies that do (including parts of msft) are those that deal with developers or consumers which apparently are more likely to not complain to much (other than to whine online) when they get the shaft. The stereotype, unfortunately, is true. At least that is what I have found.
Also, and this is important, there is the benign neglect phase where they simply keep the product minimally working but don't spend any time to improve it (like google voice).

Another option is to use something like my CFNBuilder[0] to generate AWS CloudFormation templates. It should allow you to create a VPC (with a Bastion box, DNS proxy, NAT instance, etc.) with just a couple of keystrokes. VPCs don't have to be scary. :)
Re: Google Cloud Shell
#106> Use of the Cloud Shell is free through the end of 2015: you will not be charged for any resource utilization. Would be nice if they could have stated how much it's going to cost later on. We're less than three months from 2016.
Another question is how much bandwidth do you get for free? Could I run a torrent tracker on it or SSH tunnel video streams?

disclaimer: I work at GCP That is rad! Anything we can do to help? Link to the company?
Spendology is the company >>> spendology.net. Our new service is called Blue Apex Digital. I just used Google DNS and Google Compute Engine to publish >>> blueapexdigital.com. Thanks GCP! I do have a quick question. I am running a LAMP stack with the A standing for Apache. I put an "Index.html" and an "Index.php" file in my "www" folder. I realize that new files append old files. However, I want to add a ".htaaccess"…
blueapexdigital.com fetches 5mb of pngs! You might want to optimize that.
Re: Google Cloud Shell
#108As a long time user of googles web based terminal (accessed normally through google cloud platform console by listing your VMs and clicking the SSH button):
I love it because I don't need to worry about key management and can access my machines anywhere that has a browser.
However, my few gripes are:
1)when copying text out of the web terminal window that spans multiple lines (on Mac osx chrome), newlines are inserted.
2) ctrl v doesn't work (nano/pico)
3) Ctrl c sometimes doesn't work

#109Re: Google Cloud Shell
#110What's the point of this? I can already ssh into any of my instances on AWS, Linode, whatever platform. Is it just because it's in the browser. Who cares...
I have the same question. I can ssh into all vps instances already...
