I don't follow comments like these, should people refrain from criticising giant companies because there are people working at them? I don't understand the purpose of this comment
"This is a frustrating outage for us, a huge part of the attraction in Google Cloud has been the premise that we get the underlying reliability of Google's infrastructure. If we'd known what the reliability of Google in practice this year would look like, we might have stayed with AWS."
and
"Why are the stupid SRE's at Google even paid such absurd numbers if they can't even go a whole month without multiple hours of downtime."
Criticizing companies is find, just please remember there are real people there.
"Kind and Decent" doesn't seem like a high bar. If "please be kind and decent" is too much of an ask, I pray we never work together.
if this statement you quoted is something you're not comfortable with, i have a hard time believing you have ever encountered criticism in your life.
Criticizing Google is fine, but sometimes, the best deployments to production can go wrong.
> “Our testing processes were insufficient in this case and we are reviewing and making changes to our testing and deployment process to avoid incidents like this in the future.”
They’re going after the definition of good for their deployments.
If you're a paying customer, you should be free to criticize as you damn well please.
Downvoters pls link here the yelling you have seen.
