Interesting.

Do you do cross-region work in AWS? For me that is just bad. I usually want to work at a service level and see across all regions, where as AWS wants me to work at a region level and see everything I have running there.



The web UI makes that easier with GCP, but the main "UI" for me is Terraform, with only occasional usage of the "human-rated" interfaces.

BTW, I hate Terraform with a passion, but I don't have the energy to write something that can describe infrastructure in Lisp.


Why do you find GCP 3rd then? They have Terraform templates for all (?) their services includes in the docs.


I think it's a bit the services - I am very impressed with Aurora on AWS for instance, and there isn't really anything equivalent to it anywhere else. Also, some of the services elsewhere seem easier to deploy or more convenient to use.

In any case, all three big ones are pretty good for almost anything, and I don't think there is anything that's doable on one that's impossible to do in the others (IBM is the exception here - if you need AIX, IBMi or Z, they are the only ones who can offer that).
