Ask HN: Alternatives to AWS?
Google cloud - I have recently been working on setting up our company's entire infrastructure on google cloud and we were up and running in no time (very happy currently).<p>- Great pricing<p>- Great API (command line, REST)<p>- Nearly perfect documentation<p>- Awesome support (I had requested to allow more static ip addresses to be reserved and they resolved my ticket in less than 4 hours)<p>- Very intuitive interface<p>They give you $300 free credits before setting up billing account for you to try the entire cloud for free. You can play around with google cloud with up to 8 VMs<p>They also have App engine and Container engine to manage your applications / containers at scale.<p>Other simple cloud features include - storage buckets, snapshots, VPNs etc.
