Overall Satisfaction with Google Compute Engine
We are using the compute engine to host our web applications frontend and backend, with jaeger for tracing of api calls from backend. We also are using Grafana monitoring tool for monitoring and observability of our gen ai chatbots metric in other vm. The best about it is the ease to create and configure the vm. Configuration of firewall from ui is very easy which is helpful.
- configuration of firewall from ui is very easy.
- can change the name of VM. Sometime the default name got saved which is very confusing, so we can change the VM name after stop it.
- addition of extra disk space can be done in few clicks.
- I got discount on VM original price.
- I find the documentation a lit bit hard to understand for few times.
- It will be good if I can change the VM name without stopping it.
- Sometime the SSH feels slow and looks like its lagging.
- The discount we get is very helpful for cost reduction.
- The server are always ready to use and up, never see a downtime.
- Infrastructure performance is very good with good response time.
- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
The price difference is not very high between them. Both of them provide good services.
