All of the smack talk about AWS rings true in my experience. The documentation is terrible and incomplete.
That said… there's one MASSIVE reason I trust AWS over GCP.
Google has a knack for killing products/services. Even when they seem to be popular. You don't know if a service will exist next week. But you took the time to invest in the ecosystem and get to know the offering…
But Google does what Google does, and off to the pile it goes.
Has Google killed Cloud services people relied on? I am asking in good faith as I don't know.
Whether Google kills random small-traction consumer products is kind of orthogonal to the Cloud question. If Amazon retail discontinues some Amazon Basics product, we don't read into that for AWS.
