As in not phasing out products? That's more of a problem with Google than GCP itself.

GCP has its problems (heard bad things about CloudSQL support for Postgres), but it does seem to be willing to innovate when it sees an opportunity for it.

My point is about AWS being reluctant to embrace new technologies that could damage the ones it's deeply invested in. See Athena vs Redshift or Kubernetes vs ECS (the latter having much better support). That's what I meant by "Kodak moment".

It's more that a conversation among top leadership at Google and Alphabet was leaked, where they put GCP into an artificial do-or-die situation regarding growth and funding. https://www.crn.com/news/cloud/google-reportedly-set-ambitio...
