Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

We were looking to use Google VPC to host applications because it was known to scale well, set up was relatively easy, and the pay-as-you-go system proved to be cost-effective for our purpose. This also allowed us to provide better services and to show stakeholders the value of the work.
  • scaling up
  • well-documented
  • easy set up
  • cost
  • some features are hard to understand
  • custom routes
  • Reduced a lot of time for set up
  • Time saved from good documentation
  • Pay as you go model is predictable
  • Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Google cloud VPC is quite comparable to Amazon VPC in its offerings, but Google Cloud was picked based on good previous experiences working with it. They both have a similar payment model and allow scaling up computing resources and provide good customer service.

VPC is well suited for migration from on-prem to the cloud and allows use of all the other computing resources that GCP has to offer in a scalable manner. However, if the data is highly regulated or require auditing, keeping it up on a private cloud on-prem may still be the best option.
