I know Google burns through user trust like it’s incense candles, and so people fear of losing their account access or features being deprecated without notice, but, I really think GCP is underrated. In GCP, it’s easy and best practice to group things into granular projects, and if you want to, you can shut down an entire project all at once. The billing story isn’t perfect, but it’s not bad either, and it’s not the only thing going for it.

I know I’m inviting replies airing grievances with GCP, and there certainly are many, but I’ve come to really like what it offers. Especially, GKE is really cool and at least to me feels very whole-assed as far as Kubernetes offerings go. Obviously that would make sense, but still, it really is nice to use.

It's the same in Azure, really. It forces you to setup a resource group for everything (can't have any resources outside a resource group). If you're trying something out - just put them all in same resource group, and at the end delete the resource group.

All the Azure tutorials are structured this way, and they frequently end by having you clean up your rg.

That billing model makes it very easy to find out what the operational cost of a particular product/service/team is costing the business and I think it's one of the advantages that GCP has, personally.
