The only advantage of Google Cloud is the TPUs--if you're not running massive machine learning workloads, AWS is almost always the better choice on features, service, and reliability. The *link between compute and storage* is not even officially a production product: "Please treat gcsfuse as beta-quality software. Use it for whatever you like, but be aware that bugs may lurk, and that we reserve the right to make small backwards-incompatible changes." https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcsfuse/ If a supposed cloud platform can't even produce a reliable way to access your data, then they have no basis being used in any halfway serious setting.
