Overall Satisfaction with Google Compute Engine

We use GCP (Google Cloud Platform) for following purposes:
- VM instances for Linux as well as Windows
- GKE Cluster for hosting self auto-scaling cluster running dynamic/multiple applications
- Multi-user project management
- Multiple projects hosted with separate IAM users
- Scaling Up/Down based on requirements of servers and applications.
  • Google Compute Engine Servers are very stable
  • Google Compute Engine Firewall is excellent and easy to manage
  • All different OS images are available with custom images as well
  • Kubernetes Service is very stable and auto-scalable.
  • VM are excellent with great performance but some offer on commercials can be good.
  • GKE is excellent service but rates are little on higher side.
  • Increasing Quota(s) on accounts can be made automatic.
  • Good reduction is Infra Cost around 25% saving for Infra needs.
  • GKE saved lot on Kubernetes service specially management part.
  • Lifecycle of project is automated(Infra as Code) because of Terraform with GCP.
Performance is very good always on GCP's Google Compute Engine platform with good response time.
GCP's Google Compute Engine is always available whenever you need it. 100% uptime for availability.
