Comment on Google Compute Engine: Expanded availability, new features, and lower prices

Comments

$93/month seems a bit outrageous. What do they offer that makes it worth this much?

The fastest (at least in term of terasort) hadoop platform?

Is that a question or a statement?

Yeah and thats only for single vcore. Maybe for 2 vcores. Do you really need 420GB for single. How about half that and give me another vcore.

It's Google, so you have a guarantee it won't be shut down in the near future.

Ohwait...
