Is there any mature integration to achieve this with Kubernetes?
IANAL either, but I don't see why it would be? Just have a separate cluster type, e.g SLA Zonal, SLA Regional. The SLA already differentiates the current cluster types. Anthos Clusters are also not subject to any additional fees?

And having it opt-in will save face with those users of GKE where an additional $73/m is significant.

Shouldn't that be opt-in? The management control plane is not something we consider critical to operations. I'd happily accept if it was unavailable for 1 and a half minutes a day versus these additional costs.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be $73.00+/mo
This is really disappointing. GKE was a staple amongst Kubernetes adoption, not only for the feature-set but also that there were no overhead costs.

I hope GCP re-thinks this.

I've been using DO spaces for about a year now, and for the later half of that time, my experience has been pretty terrible.

- Spaces throwing up errors that magically fix itself a couple of days later.

- Asking about the credits we were promised for when Spaces lost our files results in the question being ignored. Still haven't received the promised credits for 6+ months. I can't even look back at the tickets now as the support system has deleted all the tickets older than a month.

It's gotten to the point where we have started work on migrating off DO, which is unfortunate because DO's offerings looked very attractive.

I happened to be initializing a GKE pool upgrade just as this occurred. The upgrade is now stuck according to the console.

The interesting thing is that a couple of minutes before everything went wrong, kubectl returned a "error: You must be logged in to the server (Unauthorized)" error

Re:Gmail Experiencing Issues on Sunday June 02, 2019 @03:23PM (#20077429)
I'm having issues with the GCP console, but all our GCP services are working without issue. Lots of errors related to spanner popping up in the console.

I have seen some reports of Cloud pub/sub not working.

I'm a big supporter of Cloudflare and have been using it for almost 8 years. I personally don't think doing something like that is what Cloudflare needs.

What Cloudflare needs is further customization, especially in regards to caching. We actually had to migrate a certain part of our infrastructure to Fastly due to the lack of caching customization/rules.

I'd like to see:

- Custom caching rules similar to the new firewall rules

- Finer granularity of the cache expiry (I'm aware Enterprise has the ability to cache for 30 seconds, but we don't want to upgrade to Enterprise just for that one thing).

- Cache hit rate analytics grouped by path/domain/etc

> running a container that could be run like Cloud Functions

Does this mean we actually run the container ourselves on our GKE cluster or in a VM? Or do you mean a "container" runtime for Cloud Functions? Both would be interesting, but we'd prefer the latter since there would be less to manage. I'd be interested to see the performance of it.

Re:Cloud Functions: Go 1.11 is now a supported language on Wednesday January 16, 2019 @02:56PM (#18924409)
Although I've never used Lambda Layers. Do you think a similar approach is something that could be implemented?

Maybe even just something for compiled languages like Go, Crystal, etc that will just run the binary?

Re:Cloud Functions: Go 1.11 is now a supported language on Wednesday January 16, 2019 @02:37PM (#18924218)
We've used GCF for some production tasks and it's worked pretty well for us.

Would like to see some more runtimes/languages. I'm hoping AWS' recent layers implementation has made this more of a focus at Google. I'm curious how the implementation of Go has affected the ease of integrating other languages.

GCP products, for the most part, have a name that describes it very well. https://cloud.google.com/products/
Seems to be some weird underlying issue going on at GCP at the moment. Had cloud build webhooks returning a 500 error. Noticed we were at 255 images and deleting some fixed the issue. Created a P2 ticket about the issue before we managed to solve it and haven't had a response in 40+ hours.

The timeline of this disruption matches when we started experiencing cloud build errors.
