This is also my impression of Google compute offerings, but it&#x27;s <i>also</i> my impression of AWS offerings.<p>I mean, when people think of AWS services, do &quot;service and stability&quot; really come to mind? IME it&#x27;s impossible to reach a person unless you&#x27;re a multi-million-dollar org, and Amazon itself tells customers that AWS services can go down at any time and it&#x27;s up to the customer to architect the application to deal with it.<p>If I had to peg a reason AWS gets treated differently in the marketplace, I think it&#x27;s probably some combination of a) AWS was first to market, and b) AWS revenue seems materially important to Amazon, while Google Compute revenue is a rounding error to Alphabet. Therefore, Amazon has a lot more incentive to keep, maintain, and grow AWS.
