What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

What differentiates Google Cloud Platform from other similar products for me is the Cloud Console command shell. I have not seen this feature available on any other cloud platform provider to date.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of Google Cloud Platform is the Cloud Console command shell. This gives me access to a small usable Linux instance which I can use for command line control of various Google Cloud services. This has two main benefits for me: I don't have to spin up a virtual machine simply for control, and I can access this shell on any computer so I always have access when out on the road.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about Google Cloud Platform is the pricing. Like most cloud platform providers, it is expensive and open-ended, equivalent to writing a blank cheque able to bankrupt the company at any point.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Google Cloud Platform offer a 90-day free trial at time of writing including $300 credit. I would recommend to anyone considering Google Cloud Platform to take advantage of this and give it a whirl to see if it is a good architectural fit.
