As a founder of a company I would gladly buy chromebooks for all employees if it would solve my security problems. Sadly, I don't think today there's one solution that addresses everyone's needs, balancing dev requirements with security (and I don't think here will be one so soon):

1. We are a company that develops for iOS, so we have Apple computers and laptops... Nothing to be done about that. 2. We are on AWS, switching to Google Cloud is definitely not for everyone, definitely not just for this feature. 3. Even if we had not been developing for iOS, some developers really value working on a MacBook, and in a highly competitive recruiting market, that's a factor, and not an insignificant one.

I run 100% in AWS too and still use the (free) Google Cloud Shell for doing dev and orchestration and running terraform and docker-machine and whatnot.

Do you mean that you use it as bastion host?
