Totally agree, GCP is far easier to work with and get things up and running for how my brain works compared to AWS. Also, GCP name stuff in a way that tells me what it does, AWS name things like a teenage boy trying to be cool.

That's completely opposite to my experience. Do you have any examples of AWS naming that you think is "teenage boy trying to be cool"? I am genuinely curious.

      Perfect list, also:

      Google Cloud Run - Lambda

      Sure I get the reference to the underlying algebraic representation of coding but come on, Lambda tells us nothing of what it does.

      Products (not brands, products) should be named in a way that means something to the customer afaic.
