Google’s product is ads and GCP is an insignificant player in the cloud space. When I was at AWS ProServe, we never took GCP as a serious competitor.

GSuite still hasn’t made any inroads into the enterprise of governments where the money is.

Google Cloud revenues were $48B in 2024 vs $109B for AWS. It's silly to call that insignificant.

Doesn't that include Google Workspace though? Sure, a dollar is a dollar, but presumably a huge chunk of that money is Workspace, meaning it's not going towards raw compute.

But if we represent it as a percentage we can pretend it's relatively not a big deal and minimize their stranglehold on society.

		GCP has a stranglehold on society? Everyone who uses Chrome on Windows, Macs, and iPhones makes a choice to use it. Everyone who uses Google makes a choice.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Cloud_Platform

Google Cloud Platform is a part of Google Cloud, which includes the Google Cloud Platform public cloud infrastructure, as well as Google Workspace (G Suite), enterprise versions of Android and ChromeOS, and application programming interfaces (APIs) for machine learning and enterprise mapping services. Since at least 2022,[9] Google's official materials have stated that "Google Cloud" is the new name for "Google Cloud Platform," which may cause naming confusion.
