Is there a thing where I describe my workload and it will give me price ranges for all the clouds?

#12Competition is always better and welcomed.
But I really don't understand what edge google offers other products. If anything, I am always really wary about google and their products. People might say that enterprise services are different, and it's different from free services where if you're not paying you can't expect anything, but there's been paid services by google that have been absolutely terrible like stadia. There's something wrong with Google as a company that I can't think of much that they've done recently that seems solid. There's a reason why managers get paid high salaries, because it starts at the top and flows down.
At the very least the marketing for gcp could make it clearer what exactly it's offering that's better: price, ease of management, etc. Because nobody is going to get fired for choosing AWS so there has to be a real clear incentive other than some small technical improvements that don't matter at scale.

Stadia is a huge project, backed by google. I think it has “canary in the coal mine” features. It does want to be an enterprise service, eventually.

#14This list is biased, its missing Azure products like Azure Data Explorer, of which AWS/GCP has no alternative (afaik).
> This table lists generally available Google Cloud services and maps them to similar offerings in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.

Looks like it's in the right direction, though I don't like "write speed: 4 stars". Seems like it just be in Gb/s rather than subjective star ratings. Thanks for the link.

The title of this post implies otherwise: Compare AWS and Azure Services to Google Cloud

I love Google’s Cloud services. I think in many ways they have the best product.
I also worked somewhere where we made a million dollar commit. We had to get support through a VAR because Google basically doesn’t offer support. We basically paid someone else to file tickets that got dismissive responses while we had prod meltdown.
They’re also price competitive. I was going to go there again in my current position in a very small org. We have GSuite and to get GCloud working we had to turn on Cloud Identity. We didn’t see the free tier in GSuite, so I went to ask GSuite support. The only accessible support was a bot. When I asked the bot how to talk to a human, it helpfully referred me to a bunch of forum posts of people complaining you can’t talk to a human at Google.
We’re now with Azure.

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.

#19"Anthos clusters on AWS" No equivalent alternative. Uh. Really, no Anthos on AWS equivalent on Azure? Or AWS? Boy, they're really missing that managed Kubernetes cluster game. Maybe I'm just dense, having only been doing this cloud thing for a decade or so, but this table seems...misleading or just wrong in so many ways.
Keeping scrolling! Under GKE (managed Kubernetes), you see the call outs to EKS and AKS, respectively. The Anthos point is that other clouds don't offer their k8s stacks as supported options on other clouds. If you see things you find wrong in the table, let me know. Disclaimer: I work in product management at Google Cloud
Not sure if it's already GA, but AWS announced a product called EKS / ECS Anywhere last year that covered this use case.
Edit: not GA yet

#20My personal experience with Azure/AWS is that sometimes the products sound the same but there are painful caveats.
For example, Azure Event Hubs and AWS Kinesis both say you can pick a shard key (eg CustomerId) in your messages to have processing order for each customer.
However, Azure Event Hubs notes (and my experience was that) using this feature is subject to downtime because each shard is not highly available so you can't really use it as the first step, but it is reliable on Amazon.
