Google compute has taken some awesome strides in the last year. I now prefer GCE over AWS, because of pricing (per minute) and simplicity. AWS quickly can get overwhelming and overly complex.
The lack of a billing API and the lack of centralized management are really painful if you're trying to adopt it across an organization.

Not just Compute, Google Network, Cloud Storage, Container Engine (Kubernetese is OpenSource, so you can run it internally too), Cloud Shell, Pub/Sub, their new Cloud Console, are awesome.
In 5 years will AWS still have 25% operating margins?

There are some great aspects to Google Compute, but I hope this change results in catch up on features needed for corporate adoption compared to AWS. The lack of a billing API and the lack of centralized management are really painful if you're trying to adopt it across an organization.
There have been some recent introductions of account and key management that help too.
Did Diane's bebop even launch? I can't find their website. It is kind of frustrating that everybody involved (employees, investors) in bebop are getting a payday, without really putting in much work, or verifying their ideas. Just leaves a sour taste in my mouth (old boys network) as a two-time failed entrepreneur.
It is who you know.

By the way, it is often really hard to see just how much other people put into their projects and so from the outside their success does not seem very justified (hence the phenomena of ten year overnight success). I find myself making this mistake as well, but it is useful to remind yourself that it is the wrong way to think.

Pub/Sub is pretty meh. The Google Cloud team still don't seem to understand the need for a Kafka-like unified log service, unlike AWS (Kinesis is 2 years old this week) or even IBM Bluemix (who just launched Message Hub, which is true hosted Kafka).

Pricing is fine. Tech support is a joke. I wish I could pay more for Google to actually offer good support. We tried GCE for a while but it just didn't cut it in terms of mean response time to questions. AWS really leads on support.
