What left a bad taste in my mouth is any quota increase getting rejected unless you got on a phone call with sales and listened to an upsell speech. I'm trying to give you money and you're putting roadblocks in front of me.

My experience has been very different: I update the quota in the console and it's approved very quickly.
edit: It's also not a new account, very consistently paying for some services (maps, etc.) for years before I decided to ramp up.
edit2: It was also a tiny quota increase from the default one so not like we suddenly asked for five hundred instances.
I don't know, seems to be mostly filled with speculation and anecdotes. I can find similar anecdotes of bad behavior by Amzon, for example claims of using AWS to steal its users' business ideas[1]. Admittedly, the original author's title of "Why I distrust Google Cloud more than AWS or Azure" much better describes their position than the editorialized title of the HN submitter ("Why Google Cloud is less trustworthy t…
Agreed. What is with the retitling?
Anecdotally, Google announced the changeover of Cloud logging API versions in October of 2016, with a 5-month ramp (October to March) to switch from the v1 beta API to the v2 beta API. Five months is nearly two quarters, which is quite a long window for a beta API IMHO.
That having been said, Google's habit of leaving things that are pretty much mission-critical in beta is unwise, but it should be unwise for them, not end-users. End-users that need reliability and low churn shouldn't be developing on beta-anything.
I see the Google hate on HN is strong enough that an article that just regurgitates the contents of a few articles and blog posts can be upvoted to #1 in short order.
With AWS at least I can use a prepaid card: if something bad happens for any reason, at least I know I can afford to eat the day after.
has GCP cancelled products? Or is that just Google
Honestly the list hilariously long!
I recommend to do as much k8s and try to avoid any vendor specific lock-ins as possible.
But I have reasonable exposure to both AWS and GC and I can say that, by far, Google Cloud is easier to reason about. As a consequence, it's much harder to misconfigure. The 2 large AWS deploys I've seen have, at best, had billing issues no one really understood (incl AWS), and at worse, security issues.
Complaining that maps prices went up re Cloud Hosting is, to me, like complaining that Amazon raised the price of the Kindle, e.g., not particularly relevant.
