> The developer did not upload data to the client’s cloud anymore. He created trial GCP accounts using one of the 1 million Google accounts, then uploaded the model there, the data, executed it, and shut down once the job was finished.

I wonder what explanation the IT director got for how AWS bills magically got cut by 90%... or did the IT director even ask?

Note the disclaimer near the top that it's fictional. Translated source https://threadreaderapp-com.translate.goog/thread/1608121311...

Flagged because the story is fictional and the page is really just an ad for a company.
