Great tool with some caveats
Overall Satisfaction with Google Compute Engine
We use Google Compute Engine to run virtual machines that host our internal applications. As we don't have on-prem servers, we need a cloud structure to host our developed applications and the open source ones. We basically use cloud VMs and some their underlying network infra structure, leveraging the IAM policies to adequately provide access to our team members.
Pros
- Reliable virtual machines
- Low network latencies
- committed use discounts
Cons
- Some random network disconnections
- Never could get to configure the machine monitoring properly
- It has too many options in different menus, feels somewhat overwhelming
- GCE made our company's opensource stack be possible, significantly reducing other SaaS costs
- Optimized cloud costs with the committed discounts
- Allowed us to take control of the scale of each application without impacting user experience and improved user satisfaction
