I would really hate to see anything bad happen to GCP after the changes in leadership.
Based on my own experience as the CTO: After being an Azure shop for a year we've migrated ~50-100 VMs to GCP and I love the GCP products.
GCP is:
- Simpler to use
- More tailored to people with Linux environment
- Leader in K8S
- Has good support
- So much cheaper (in our case we saved ~60%)
- Has great UI and understandable primitives.
My only pet peeve is the fact that exporing your spend is practically impossible unless you're a BQ guy that can work directly with report exports.
PS: We're building our future infra on K8S to allow us to migrate more easily to a different could if something goes awry with GCP, I really hope there won't be a need to migrate back to Azure and its arcane and high pricing, strange UI, worse tooling...
