About Google Cloud Compute Engine

Google Cloud Compute Engine delivers configurable virtual machines running in Google’s data centers with access to high-performance networks and storage. Users can configure their virtual machines by choosing a machine type and adding one or more resources such as CPUs, memory, local SSDs or HDDs, or GPUs. Use the built-in load balancing options to spread out an application's workload between multiple instances of services.

Great VM service from Google Cloud

We needed a simple way to deploy a lightweight web app which we need to secure using Google OAuth. Google Compute Engine together with Identity Aware Proxy enabled us to deploy this very quickly without custom authentication code.

PROS

I like the configuration and customization UI of Google Cloud Compute Engine. It's the easiest to use among the equivalent products among the major cloud providers.

CONS

So far, I do not have anything I dislike about Compute Engine.

Reason for choosing Google Cloud Compute Engine

We were using Google Workspace for our employees. The integration with IAP is so convenient in securing our lightweight internal app.

GCP has the best documentation for Cloud Computing

It was the best experience I had with a Google product.

CONS

I cant name anything I disliked about the process.

Reason for choosing Google Cloud Compute Engine

Very good documentation, ease of use, free $300 credit and support from GCP twitter

Macchine virtuali alla portata di tutti

Utilizzato a lavoro per sviluppare un piccolo backend per servire una app mobile sviluppata

PROS

Bastano poche configurazioni per avere una macchina virtuale operativa su cui subito sviluppare o eseguire altre operazioni

CONS

Può in casi rari volerci molto per creare la macchina virtuale

Virtualization on Compute Engine

My overall experience is very good with the google compute engine as the pricing is low,feature set is rich and almost everything is at one place.

PROS

Best feature is pay for what you use only.Doesnt matter since when or how much powerful vm have you created you only get charged for time when the machine is running.

CONS

I dont think that is least liked by me everything so far is good i am loving using compute engine.
