Google - “What kind of cloud would a clown make?”

I just can’t fathom Google’s inability to sort this out. They’ve been the laughing stock of serious cloud business for years.

At this point I am having trouble understanding who would consider GCP. I mean maybe something along the lines of: something something, multi-cloud strategy, no lock-in options, let's also use GCP so we have multi-cloud. But I never see it as the option to pick. It's sad really.

    1. SaaSy kids in SV or who wish they were in SV who also think Google Sheets beats Excel.

    2. Big enterprise executives who heard Google was what the cool SaaSy kids do from someone in I.T. then got lured by too-good-to-be-true discounts from Google Cloud sales team as long as the executive is happy to be featured for their forward-thinking tech chops in pressers about picking GCP. To their credit, they will undo the Office to Workspace migration mandate almost immediately, after making their 140,000 users attempt it from IE 10 on Win 7, but there won't be press about that.
