As a Cloud Engineer while working on a migration project we used GCR and my experience of using it is actually good the reason behind this is: 1: GCR uses industry-standard encryption to protect your data.2: GCR offers data loss prevention features to help you prevent sensitive data from being leaked or exposed and last but not the least is GCR provides audit logging so you can track who has accessed your data and when, because of these reasons its my go to tool.

If you're looking for a cost-effective solution then this is a good choice, be sure to keep on top of your balance! The 100% uptime is also a nice addition, although not unique in a cloud hosting service.

Cons
Google
  • The one area which i think GCR lacks is that it currently supports a limited number of file types
  • The major flaw a felt while working on it is it does not have feature of object versioning and object locking

  • The billing reports are quite hard to read, could be simplified
  • A control panel function would be useful
  • The re-billing process could be better, not so cut throat if you miss a payment!

It is very easy to integrate GCR with other services and I integrated GCR with GKE and Cloud Build. 1: While working on one project I created one pipeline pulls the app's Docker image from GCR and builds the app's Docker image. Deployed that apps image in GKE. 2: Ive stored the data in GCR and that data was being used by cloud Run applications

We trialed UpCloud to see if it would be better than DigitalOcean but for our needs, it was not. On DigitalOcean once a droplet is created, almost no thought needs to go into maintenance, outages, or other reliability-based issues.

Return on Investment
Google
  • As a DevOps Engineer , GCR has made a important contribution to my organisation because GCR can be used to store code and assets, which can help to reduce the development time for new projects.
  • Using GCR has bee­n a cost-effective solution for us since­ we only pay for the storage we­ actually utilise. This has resulted in significant savings on our cloud storage­ expenses.
  • We trust GCR be­cause they prioritise the­ security of our data by utilising industry-standard encryption. This assurance brings us pe­ace of mind, as we know our information is protecte­d.

  • The low cost means you don't really need to worry about pricing
  • To us as a business it was not as useful as DigitalOcean
