    I dunno Mr. Google, but I’m fairly sure Azure won’t decide to sell of their domain registrar out from underneath their customers.

    I’m fairly certain that Azure won’t drastically update the “packages” to buy ever 6 months like GCP/Gcloud did.

    I’m fairly certain, that given the track record of Google products and services, that this has nothing to do with Azure being “anti-competitive” and everything with Google being known for axing their own products. If I build something on GCP, I can’t trust that it will continue to run unattended. I know I’ll need to always keep my eyes on the news feed should Google axe another product I was using.

    When has Microsoft ever done something other than unethical business practices to lock people in?

    Its hilarious to read Google is pointing at Microsoft pointing at Oracle - can’t wait to see who Amazon is going to point at. Although they are right - the licensing costs of things are getting so convoluted its near impossible to determine even a solid estimate at times for any of the cloud service providers. One peak one day can wipe out your entire planned spend for the quarter if you aren’t careful.
