Because I enjoyed receiving feedback on my Qualitative comparison of Linode, Digital Ocean and Vultr in January, I decided to write another review of my recent experience with Google Compute.
The purpose of this latest review was to evaluate Google Compute as a source of raw computing power to execute simulations. I found that, in my circumstances, Google Compute was hardly the cheapest of the alternatives for computing but it did have some advantages over buying or renting dedicated computing power. But I was surprised to discover that Google does not offer any access to technical support without a minimum charge of $150/month for their Silver support package. For me, this was a showstopper.
You can find the full Google review on my Wordpress blog.
