I haven’t managed a hyper cloud service, but I have managed 7-8 figure enterprise services. Sometimes as a service and ecosystem evolves, you need to tweak the business model. For a service like this, I would guess a set of customers stumbled into or found some loopholes that affected the economics of the services.
It is still a simpler model than Glacier, which is the AWS service closest to this.
As a customer, supplier risk is always something to factor. You can’t be religious about tech stacks for this reason and always need to chase dollars. If you have the market power, sometimes you can delay these sorts of actions with termed price contracts. If you don’t have lots of compliance requirements, paying for them baked into GCP may not be a good idea!
If your business (or bonus) is dependent on the beneficence of AWS, Azure, GCP, etc, you need to make sure that you understand that you are rolling the dice and someday the happy times will end.
yes you are.
