it was well publicized that Google was turning the screws on its GCP sales staff...maybe this is a put-up-or-shut-up moment for GCP to bring in more money...assuming the sales drives didn't yield

Beyond the meme, I don't see how Google could kill GCP without looking like an extremely weak company. They have to make it work to show that they can still deliver results.

I predict Google will be going through major changes in the next twelve months...they've been caught off-guard by OpenAI/Bing...Google isn't used to playing defense and having to fight for search marketshare

by some measures, Google is number 4 in cloud...definitely no better than number 3...you have to wonder if it is worth it for Google to be an also-ran

No, it's just how GCP works and has worked. They've been tweaking pricing like this for a long time already.

Google Cloud is their portal into AI/ML workflows as a hosted service. There's no chance they kill it.
