What would be the motivation to publish such a page on the Google side ?
They are encouraging switching?
But they still advertise aws and azure a bit right. Isnt there a risk of driving google customers to aws or azure ?

Google's challenge right now is to get customers from AWS and Azure. People who will see that page are probably comfortable with AWS or Azure and so Google wants to tell those people that we have most of the features which our competitors have.

#53Is there a thing where I describe my workload and it will give me price ranges for all the clouds?
I don't think Google's fabled AI could even work out costs in any cloud service.
Google can't even work out costs for their own products. For example try asking the pricing calculator to quote for a shared core Cloud SQL postgres instance: there's a drop down that invites you to choose between shared and dedicated types but neither is an option, only 'custom'.

#54Why should I trust Google to compare GCP, AWS, Azure? If I really want to compare services, I would do it on my own, look for independent websites or pay an independent company to does it for me.

Makes sense thanks.

#56When I first started dabbling into trying to do something on my own, Google App Engine (GAE) seemed the easiest to understand and get off the ground. And the fact that everything 'just worked' and didn't require setting up stuff was awesome in my opinion. GAE Launcher was the cherry on the cake which is why it was such a bummer when they deprecated it (and this led to my current side project - https://nocommandline.c…
It astounds me to this day that AWS doesn't have a heroku-style "five clicks to have a github repo deploying at a url" PaaS offerring. Beanstalk ain't it, and they cloned DO's "create a VM wizard" (Lightsail) but still no simple GitHub oauth webhook build/deploy. PaaS is such a great and convenient model. It seems a major oversight to me on AWS's part.
Look up AWS Amplify

#57I use GCP for hobby projects because it’s simpler than AWS, has a better GUI and better documentation.
For a commercial project I would probably go with AWS, since I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about GCP support.
I’ve been scared away from Azure after using it for a couple of courses at university. It just seemed half-baked: lots of GUI glitches/bugs (e.g. reliably needing to press a button exactly twice). It just seemed like one of those Microsoft products that only exist because the best product in the category isn’t owned by Microsoft already.

Oh just get your Google account shut down with zero warning and loose everything forever.
This is and the lack of human support is the reason I w ill never host anything with Google ever.
While I understand the sentiment there is actually human support available on Google Cloud Platform, and there are contracts and SLAs for service availability and support.
Also, as part of Google Cloud for Startups we were assigned a local (as in: operating in our country) account manager that periodically checks in to see how we're doing and connects us to Google's partners where applicable.
We're actually very happy with Google Cloud Platform, and have been for the past ~3 years.

#59isn't azure the only cloud provider that hasn't censored any of its clients, by disconnecting their services, yet?

We'll see how it goes with Stadia. I think it's a fairly terrible product. Google doesn't keep things like it alive for very long.
Stadia is the best streaming game service there is. People just don't want that product.
It’s not significantly better than something like rain way, which at least has the courtesy to plug in to your pre-existing games library.
