It's a case study. Google didn't create a one-off URL for Twitter, but have the same URL pattern for all their public case studies:
- https://cloud.google.com/chilean-healthcare/
- https://cloud.google.com/now-ims/
- etc.
Amazon has absolutely the same, except that their URL is slightly different, but I didn't think that there is a URL police which determines which URLs are considered embarrassing for case studies and which not:
Obviously that's the thing you'd choose to highlight in a public Google-hosted presentation after a strategic partnership that is a bonanza in marketing for Google Cloud. It wouldn't work so well to tell a room full of engineers "We moved to Google cuz they gave us a fat discount, one you can't get because you're not Twitter!"
