That sort of downtime is not acceptable.

You too will realize that when your load balancer will go down in the evening or in the week-end while you are away. Your site will be 100% dead for a very long amount of time.

Google gives you away the solution to your problem for free. Take it.

Google's own SLO for the LB is only 99.95%. That is strictly less than 100%. Nothing is 100%.

At what point did I or anyone else suggest "Hey you don't need to use Google's LB, because you can install your own and never monitor it, and never engage anybody to take emergency action when required".

I'm pretty suspicious of anything any company "gives away for free", particularly an overblown advertising company.

If you account for the time you save for using reliable quality services from their cloud, time is valuable strictly speaking, they are paying you ;)
