Comment on Google scores six-year Meta cloud deal worth over $10Bparent

I concur with your rankings. I was very careful to couch the Google compute cost "win" solely to one-shot-memory-intensive runs--not to any other configuration or long-term reservation.

Respectfully, I was very explicit that I was ignoring cost in my ranking.

Azure might have a ton of great features and could be (for all I know) a quarter the cost of GCP. But in my professional experience, I have run into recurring Azure issues that are entirely out of my control that blocked deployment of new VMs for hours and hours (and occasionally days). That's business-disrupting.
