At Google, we understand and embrace the fact that we’re not a first mover as a public cloud provider. Rather, our move to cloud is focused on finding the right capability for the right customer problems, to drive real value and minimize complexity. Our cloud is different because Google is a different technology company. We’re not a retailer or a software company trying to leverage your technical debt for a healthy balance sheet. We exist to help you leverage data, and engage with you securely at massive scale. This is our focus. We went through the journey to cloud ourselves first, and then decided to productize our technology and expertise to share with others. Along the way, we open sourced critical technologies such as Kubernetes, to make them better and serve the world.
