You doubt it? Google is an investor in GitLab. They also push heavily for GCP to their customers offering USD 200 free credits (above the USD 300 you get by default). Zero marketing mentions regarding integrations with AWS, Azure or any other cloud providers. I wouldn't be surprised if they are hostile in terms of integrating with other Cloud providers.

You even get marketing promotions about GCP in the consoles empty states. Sometimes it feels like a cheap Google adware. I cringe when I see so many Google references in GitLab.

GitLab is basically a subsidiary of Google Cloud at this point.

I really like GitLab since their service and user experience is top notch. I use it in all my side projects. I just wish they weren't so heavily biased to push and promote GCP. If they advertised themselves as a cloud agnostic and completely independent Git solution, I would be more trusting of their service. But the reality is the opposite. Sadly.
