Just finished up one day training at Google's Sydney office in Google Cloud Platform Fundamentals. GCP is pretty cool and I think I like it.

Lots of our customers at Pythian are already hosting, migrating and thinking of doing so on cloud. Pythian already has a huge presence in cloud using various technologies.

So it was good to learn something about the Google's cloud offering. It was a pleasant surprise as it all made sense. From App engine to compute engine and from big table to big query, the features are sound, mature and ready to use.

The dashboard is simple too. I will be blogging more about it as I play with it in coming days.
