I 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).

GCP has vastly worse documentation than AWS unfortunately.

I find the AWS docs too verbose, however it’s quite possible that doing something in AWS is just more complicated than doing it in GCP. In that case the issue is not with the docs, but with the complexity of AWS vs GCP. Either way GCP has an advantage here.

Azure has absolutely the worst interface in my opinion, but I’ve found that for a lot of my clients them already having an azure account (via AD) outweighs pretty much anything else. I think Microsoft know this and know they come a long way without having to compete.

Honestly, I liked Azure's web UI better than AWS's.

It felt easier to navigate from one service to another.

There's a configuration option to disable that, as per Google's documentation: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/usage-statistics

Should be more opt in rather than opt out. I know some Azure libraries do something similar , but with google , i do not want advertisements on youtube about "demand of AI engineers and self driving cars" because i use gcloud CLI :)

It is opt in.

Do you have a screenshot?

Search for "Redshit" in https://web.archive.org/web/20210324005720/https://cloud.goo... It is legit

Can Google just delete stuff from the wayback machine?
