"My experience using GCE"

5/5

What do you like best about Google Compute Engine?

There are a few things which I personally felt nice about using google compute engine,they are like easy to scale and deploy the application near to users having its low latency global network, one more thing which caught my attention was its capability to run vm instances from one host to another without downtime as it not only required for stability but also when we maintain or health check our applications.

What do you dislike about Google Compute Engine?

I think it's about challenge which team needs to figure out which I experienced are like its no.of data centres are less which sometimes impact latency and performance for users, another challenge would be its complex pricing structure which needs to be made simpler for user to understand clearly. Adding to this,one more challenge would be its limited support system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Compute Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are several problem resolution which we get upon using GCE ,they are like when someone faces difficulty in scaling to handle traffic spikes, here GKE helps(even I felt good difference upon using it) in automating scaling capabilities,we can set up our applications to automatically add or remove vm instances based on traffic or cpu utilisation. Adding to this ,other function which helped me(with respect to company/business requirement),it boosts security as Gcloud has a dedicated team of security experts.

Also, one more thing which is as important as above is problem of high cost,but here GCE uses pay -as -you go model that means for how much duration and resources we use, we have to pay that much only,no extra pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
