I use AWS free tier and get customer support through email, but thats not the case with GCP. Do they provide free email support? If you are an early stage startup can you afford their 200/Month support, when your entire GCP bill is under $1. However, that doesn't mean you don't have to support them.

If 200/month is an issue, then you aren’t an “early stage startup”. You’re running a hobby project.

You know there's 1-man "start ups"/companies out there that serve more users than 99.5% of VC startups ever will, which earn their owner a very livable wage, but who still can't afford a 500 bucks business support plan on all of the 20 services they use.

If you've got VC money to blow so you can pretend your SaaS toy can feed 500 people while having money left to throw at things, that's cool. Just remember that other people might be running sustainable businesses.

They work for Google so obviously they are much smarter than you. If theres a problem its probably the customers fault. /sarcasm

I was so mad to read that until you said /sarcasm :p That being said I really do think there is a difference between who is working at google today and the google we all fell in love with pre-2008. I am sure there are a amazing people still working at google, but nowhere near like it was. The way I like to think about google is that some amazing people mad ea awesome train that builds tracks in front of it -- you can…

You've managed to roll the myth of 10x engineers, start-up geniuses, nostalgia and gut feelings into one message of very dubious veracity.

At the same time you ignored the massive complexity and size of Google compared to what they were at the beginning.

This is voodoo organisational analysis.

Yes, they provide using the public issue tracker. We have been used it with success.

Thanks. I am aware of that issue tracker. Its not an actual support portal (or at least the support I am expecting)

I am currently evaluating GCP for two separate projects. I want to see if I understand this correctly: 1) For three whole days, it was questionable whether or not a user would be able to launch a node pool (according to the official blog statement). It was also questionable whether a user would be able to launch a simple compute instance (according to statements here on HN). 2) This issue was global in scope, affecti…

I think you're missing the portion about how it only appears to be the console ui, no?

When everything works, GCP is the best. Stable, fast, simple, reliable. When things stop working, GCP is the worst. Slow communications and they require way too much work before escalating issues or attempting to find a solution. They already have the tools and access so most issues should take minutes for them to gather diagnostics, but instead they keep sending tickets back for "more info", inevitably followed by a…

With Dell you can certify with them so you can get replacement parts and such without the BS back and forth with some guy in india. Saves everyone time and money.

The is not only GKE. But for GCE as well. I cannot create instance is almost all zones. I tried both preemptible and normal as well.

Always saying resource not available. My account is a pretty new account.

In contrast, one of my friend is having a pretty old account which is very active. He has no such issue.

So I think due to this issue, Google has enabled some resource limitation for new accounts.

But they should properly communicate this issue.

If a comment reflects the median, it doesn’t address outliers.

I’d say google earned that bad faith this year alone with what they did with maps.

As another user mentioned, maps isn't cloud.

But it's Google, in the end the same CEO has to sign off on these changes (I'm sure the Maps price hike was approved by C-level and not just the Maps department).

I believe the OP was referring to the very same blog (web log) you cited.

https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/container-engine/18...

"We are investigating an issue with Google Kubernetes Engine node pool creation through Cloud Console UI."

> So it sounds like a web interface problem, not a severely limiting

Depends who you as to whether this is "severely" limiting, but yes there is a workaround by using an alternate interface.
