The headline seems to imply that Google will likely EOL Cloud if they don’t win in 3 years. That doesn’t instill confidence.

A CTO betting the farm on Google’s cloud is displaying reckless naivety. Google’s arrogance towards its customers is legendary.

We're on Google because we're not betting the farm on them or anyone else. Google has the best Kubernetes hosting, but using Kubernetes allows us to move if anything drastic changes.

does it though? Kubernetes is a complex system, and many if not most providers have a "okeish" setup at best.

So is a CTO betting on Amazon never turning into Oracle.

It’s a game of probabilities, and right now P(Amazon turns into Oracle) < P(Google cancels GCP in 3 years).

Amazon turning into Oracle is bad but it's a lot less disruptive to a company's operations than GCP shutting down.
