> It costs how much?!

The author's not wrong. Cost comes with lack of accountability in my experience. In turn, my devsecops dept (~20 people) has kept costs down by holding monthly AWS accountability meetings. "Who owns this and why does it exist?" is the leading question.

> The all-you-can-eat buffet problem

Valid point. But I've gotten far in my career by specializing in AWS. It's not going anywhere soon. It's the one cloud provider I would say you should go all-in on. Azure maybe next. GCP? Come on. Conversely, I just got an email from Heroku saying they're retiring one of my free-tier databases that I still use.

Orgs, please retire this saying. I hear this everywhere. It's lost a lot of meaning. Just spell out what your org does better than the rest of the pack.

What's wrong with GCP?

The G. Products from Google are often transient, support is often non-existent. It doesn't create confidence for people who might be investing big into proprietary cloud features.

Lots of people have had their servers randomly deleted one day because a google script thought they were a bot. And then of course, there is no one to call at google to have it resolved.
