Supposedly the funding for Google Cloud will go bye-bye if they don't beat Azure by 2023. They won't axe all of Google Cloud, but I bet they'll start killing services that don't make money. (Remember: Google is an advertising company; loss-leading cloud services don't help them sell ads)
nah the article was really overblown. 'we've approved budget for five years. and our goal is to beat azure.' more or less, but that doesnt mean in five years there wouldn't be more budget approved, and it didnt seem like an ultimatum connecting the two. businesses dont plan infinite years out.
while google cloud as a whole i dont see going away, individual products within it(like iot core) are gonna always be up for the chopping block
That's why I prefer to invest time and effort on AWS. I know I won't have to rewrite everything from scratch whenever Google feels like abandoning their projects.
That's exactly what you will do - invest time, and energy, a lot of both because AWS is a victim of its own legacy. Everything is an after-thought, everything is messy and its genuinely painful to use on anything except some basic UI driven functionality.
EC2 and S3 and some basic hosting stuff is fine but newer services such as AWS Glue, Athena etc are a horrendous mess for anything other than 101 type stuff.

Source on this?
Also, Amazon was just an eCommerce store before AWS.
