I’m sorry but without more context I won’t upvote this. We hear your side of the story but we won’t hear Google’s.

You say payments were made and billing cards were valid. Your account wouldn’t be suspended for that. I’m convinced there are important nuances you aren’t mentioning.

I don’t get it.

ssmw | 6 years ago | on: Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6

Think about any medium sized dev agency managing 3x environments for 20x customers. That's 50k/year out of the blue.

My problem is that this fee doesn't look very "cloud" friendly. Sure the folks with big clusters won't even notice it, but others will sweat it.

The appeal of cloud is that costs increase as you go, and flat rates are typically there to add predictability (see BigQuery flat rate). This fee does the opposite.
