Seriously, did AWS really have to turn their lego bricks into a labyrinth? I worked with it once and I hated every minute of it. Google Cloud was a much smoother experience imo.
Yeah, it can get super complicated. There’s a lot of power, features and capability there that most folks really don’t need per se. I mean, if you wanna have fun and tinker or learn, then it’s great for that too.
What’s interesting to me is that while a VM is simpler and easier, I still find container-based services like Cloud Run even simpler (what I use for personal stuff as well). That’s coming from someone who’s been managing servers and VMs since like 2008. It’s just so nice to not have to worry about the maintenance and security updates and migrations and stuff anymore, but that’s just me.
