I like how Google tries to masquerade their corporate goals behind the 'portability' banner. Google Cloud is in a distant third place behind AWS and Azure, so ofcourse they don't want developers to have tight coupling to their competitors.
This portable cloud strategy is a mirage. I haven't seen anyone migrate providers easily (we tried in my last company). In reality, you have to break the cloud agnostic abstraction to leverage provider specific functionality. And then you are stuck with unmaintainable mess of 'cloud agnostic' APIs mixed cloud specific APIs.
