I complained about an issue with AWS on Twitter and two hours later was on a call with the EKS product manager who connected me with someone on their team who documented the issue, gave me a workaround, and then pushed out a fix to everyone a few days later. It was super impressive!&lt;p&gt;I complained about a separate issue with GCP. The product manager found my tweet and told me it was my fault for using a service marked as &amp;quot;preview&amp;quot;. He then told me I should have used a different service, which was also marked as &amp;quot;preview&amp;quot;. They were rude and defensive and made no attempt to resolve my issue. We decided to just not use GCP for the project as a result.&lt;p&gt;Neither of these are isolated stories. I have multiple examples of GCP staff just being super rude for no real reason, while AWS regularly goes above and beyond with customer service.</text><parent_chain><item><author>djha-skin</author><text>Google could have (and many expected them to) eat Amazon&amp;#x27;s lunch for cloud compute back when it was new.

But I see no signs that they are even aware of the issue; I see no effort to change anything.&lt;p&gt;I would try to tell them but... there&amp;#x27;s no communication channel. Maybe I should post about it on HN.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Google Drive does a surprise rollout of file limits, locking out some users</title><url>https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/03/google-drive-does-a-surprise-rollout-of-file-limits-locking-out-some-users/</url></story>
