    When most of our stuff is in Google Cloud Platform, it works great to integrate and cross/share data that is all in Google Cloud Platform or BigQuery. It has simplified things from a permissions perspective as well. I'd say it is less appropriate when trying to test something quickly locally, or when half your stuff is in AWS or another provider.

    I think the only reason not to look at OVH Dedicated Servers is if you need something with higher resilience. It's important to remember that these are a single physical server and thus have the same risks of outage as if you deploy a single physical server anywhere else. Most VPS solutions (whether OVH or elsewhere) have all the failover and HA abstracted from you and so offer less administrative overhead. However in terms of the amount of compute, storage and RAM you can get for your dollar, you can't beat the value proposition of OVH, and coupled with that they will repair the hardware if it fails, your task is simply to ensure you've take appropriate backup steps, and understand your RTO and RPO and architect accordingly. If you can withstand a period of downtime, then a single dedicated server will go a long way!

    Cons
    Google
    • The UI is so confusing. The console is good, but it is like a maze. There are too many menus and settings, and things do not work as expected. It takes time to get friendly, and it is not friendly for new users.
    • Support experience: Sometimes, you get a great engineer, but other times, it's very difficult to talk with them as they are unable to respond as expected and solve issues late.
    • Region and zone are issues, as not all services are available in all regions, which is lacking when deploying something in the same region or zone.

    • Security options are pretty basic, we must use SOAR software alongside to secure the servers.

    The Google Cloud Platform console is pretty slick for BigQuery especially. I have liked the visibility I get from using that and the way to integrate and see what's in our data lake. The logging console for tracking GKE jobs isn't quite as great, which is why it doesn't get a full 10.

    Everything has been thought of - from the initial password secure portal, through to day to day management, you can do everything from the console easily. Remote KVM is on hand for those awful moments (if you have them - and we all have) where the server won't boot for some reason

    Google Cloud Platform is release later than Amazon web service, I think that why Google Cloud Platform can learned and optimized the Dashboard and some features that make it easy to use and can be cheaper than amazon web service.

    OVH Dedicated Servers are a different product so a direct comparison is difficult. In simple terms, both provide compute, memory and storage. However the EC2 instances offer significantly more in the way of resiliency in the event of a single hardware failure. However this comes at a price, and there is no way you could get 18TB of RAID5 style storage on HDD from a Public Cloud provider for the price of an OVH Dedicated Server

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • It allows us to focus our efforts on other, more important items at hand
    • It gives us an affordable option letting me know it's available to all users, not just the largest scale ones out there
    • The customer service is always helpful and reliable, along with the service itself which lets me focus on my work instead of worrying about the service.
