Overall Satisfaction with Google Compute Engine

In our company, we primarily use Google Compute Engine to create VM instances that would power our website our testing environment and as a CI/CD tool.
The main purpose that help us decided to use Google Compute Engine was the cost and the ability to easily scale our instances to our needs.
  • Cost-effective
  • Scaling
  • Good-looking UI Dashboard
  • Documentation
  • Networking Configuration
  • Positive: Costs Savings. (Thanks to offered credits and scalability)
  • Negative: Initial Learning Curve. (Took some time to ship our website using GCE)
We decided to use GCE mainly for its price and good looking UI.

Do you think Google Compute Engine delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Google Compute Engine's feature set?

Yes

Did Google Compute Engine live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Google Compute Engine go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Compute Engine again?

Yes

Compute Engine is, in my opinion, very well advised if a scalable environment is needed.
Especially for those use cases where incoming traffic might change a lot in a time period.
Is it less appropriate instead if no high traffic is expected.
