Going Multi-Cloud with AWS and GCP: Lessons Learned at Scale
One of the biggest benefits of Google Cloud is networking. By default GCE instances in VPC's can communicate with all instances across zones and regions. This is a huge plus.On AWS, multi region involves setting up VPN and NAT instances. Not rocket science, but wasted brain cycles.Generally, with GCP setting up clusters that span three regions should provide ample high availability and most users don't need to deal with the multi cloud headaches. KISS. You can even get pretty good latency between regions if you setup North Carolina, South Carolina, and Iowa. Soon West Coast clusters will be possible between Oregon and Los Angels (region coming soon).
